An article reprinted on the Forbes website (originally on the Quiria website) tries to answer the question whether a high level of intelligence is needed to be a successful at business or making a LOT of money (i.e., billionaire). Short answer: No. For find out what is necessary, see: https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/09/09/i-worked-with-elon-musk-and-learned-that-intelligence-is-not-the-key-to-success/#64c649406fd2
Of the three key points, I think the third is most important: do something that you can monetize. Having a driving curiosity and deep intensity in learning things and developing your knowledge (i.e., being a scholar) that doesn't have a big payoff is guaranteed way to be poor though intelligent. Morale: don't become a college professor unless you can write a best-selling textbook. 1/2 ;-) Now for something completely different: Best wishes to Tipsters in Florida and other areas affected by Irma. I hope you all get through it with major losses and/or grief. Really, good luck. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@mail-archive.com.
