'Why some brilliant people are failures ?'

A writer and a coach David.J.Schwartz, once spoke about a couple of his close friends who are qualified genii and have high abstract intelligence but despite that, they were the most unsuccessful people.

Reason being, one of them had a mediocre job ( he's afraid of responsibility), he has never married (lots of marriages end in divorce), and he has few friends (people bore him). He has never invested in property of any kind (he might lose his money). This man uses his great brain power to prove why things won't work rather than directing his mental power to searching for ways to succeed.

So he says,

" Remember the thinking that guides your intelligence is much more important than how much intelligence you have ".

Bottom line: Not even a Ph.D. degree can override this basic success principle.

Frankly speaking, I myself was doing more than two unsuccessful acts like the one mentioned above until I found someone to guide me in the right direction.

How many of you can resonate with me?
