Why do relatively less intelligent people often do better in life than highly intelligent people?
In (successfully) carving my way to glory, I have understood one important point. That there is a huge gap between where we are and where we wish to be.
On a positive note, there is also a definite way to bridge that gap. It involves doing a set of important actions day after day after day. Eg. To build a stunning body, one needs to go to the gym day after day after day.
