there's more wisdom in "stupid is as stupid does" than i think most realize. iq is basically potential, and potential doesn't mean shit unless you use it right. i'm on the higher iq side and moderately more successful than average, but i've met plenty of lower iq people who ended up far more successful simply because had the confidence and motivation to pursue simple, realistic goals without giving up. i learned more actually useful life lessons about success from these people than i ever did from people who were clearly smarter than me.
