What do you think is most important for us, as a generation and a nation?
Raw intelligence- What you come out of the gate with. Your baseline smarts. You either have a high IQ or you don’t. You pick things up quickly- which can be a skill in and of itself- or you struggle at first.
Skill- To become the best at what you do, you need hours and hours of practice. More time than a person who has that same ‘skillset’ but is mediocre, average, or just gets by AT BEST. Skill can be built.
Talent- Something special that comes more naturally to you than others. With consistent feeding, talent can become unstoppable and untouchable.
Realized genius- True grit and perseverance. The ability to not start out as the best or be extremely smart in all areas, but has the willingness to bleed their soul into what they fixate on and eventually super-cede others in that area.
Each trait manifests and breeds a different kind of person. Some have one trait, and some have multiple traits so tightly woven together that one could not exist without the other.
So what do you think?
