The poster is actually very right

But if I may add a point, having a successful career is a combination of talent and hard work. None is more important that the other.


IQ , EQ , SQ , AQ

.....According to psychologists, there are four types of intelligence:

1) Intelligence Quotient 0(IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): [/b]this is the measure of your comprehension ability", solve maths; memorize things and recall subject matters.

[b]2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine and considerate.

3. Social Quotient (SQ)
This is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go farther in life than those with high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize in improving IQ level while EQ and SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your character; your SQ represents your charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs but more especially your EQ and SQ.

EQ and SQ make one manage better than the other.

Pls don't teach children only to have higher IQ , but also to have higher EQ and SQ.

Now there is a 4th one :
A new paradigm

4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ):
The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life and come out without losing your mind.
AQ determines who will give up in face of troubles and may abandon their families.

To parents:
Expose children to other areas of life than academic. They should adore manual work (never use work as a form of punishment), sport and art .

Develop their EQ, SQ and AQ. They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of the parents.

*Finally*, do not prepare the road for the children. Prepare the children for the road.

IQ, whatever Q are all BS. You can have all of the above but if you aren't in the right place at the right time or have the right resources, then forget it. Life is a mixture of luck, risk taking and preparedness.

Considering the fact that no man is an island, being in the right place is linked to connecting with the right person. Even in terms of resources, you need PEOPLE to implement whatever it is you have in mind. All of this is related to your social interaction aka EQ.

A talented footballer who's not hardworking will always succeed more than an untalented footballer who's hardworking

Hardwork is overrated,all the successful people I know aren't as hardworking as the failures that I also know

It's all about talent and grace, then a little bit of Hardwork

[quote author=Kayceenaz post=86440600]In this era where pursuit of self-sufficiency is mainstream, eking out a living through involvement in a job becomes default. With loud whispers of dearth of white-collar jobs, instinct pushes many to indiscriminate search. Natural talent's place in such foray is tossed aside, starting the journey to earning well but faring averagely. Working hard or smart wouldn't save you from having an ordinary career when you've neglected your inborn strength(s).

Having observed careers of those who have thrived, not survived, in business (Aliko Dangote), medicine (Ben Carson), football (Cristiano Ronaldo), basketball (Michael Jordan), tennis (Serena Williams), comedy (Bovi Ugboma), politics (Barack Obama), art (Pablo Picasso), Education (Albert Einstein), considering individual talent quotient in any career choice is primary. Inborn strengths often provide a headstart, making learning peculiar job skills to be efficient almost seamless. Paying attention to the professional evolution of the highlighted names is insightful. Einstein once sat for a college entrance examination where he excelled only in math and underperformed in other subjects. Although he had to resit, that was an early sign of a future in physics. Have you overlooked any?

With some talent, there is already a foundation to lay the blocks of training, seminars, meetings, further studies, hours of work on; whereas the untalented in a field would need to build one, which is usually not as formidable. Highly impressive results follow whenever the talented puts in significant work, compared to others whose results may be acceptable but hardly outstanding. Why s/he seems to be coveting all the recognitions/promotions, meritoriously, in your office is explicable by talent.

Turning genius in any career requires both the input of talent and work. Neither alone can get you there! A HB pencil writes when sharpened due to its inherent potential; no matter how much a stick is sharpened, it won't write as well. Hearing people spend half of their lives in a profession without leaving deep footprints behind is so boring and cliché. It is either their talent was starved of work or talent was absent. Why not be different?

I think this topic is kinda related to my personal issue rn
I think I have a talent in accounting, but no matter how hard I prepare for my exams I still haven't made a first class, and I'm in my final session.

So i think a dose of Grace is required to both talent and hardwork to be successful at something
That indicates uncertainty and somewhat sheds light on your average output despite your hard work input. You very likely lack an aptitude in accounting. 90% of First Class students emerge, because they intentionally or incidentally opted for courses naturally attune with themselves. Keep searching!
