Being Smart is Overrated

It's not that it's bad to be smart. I know a lot of great people, close friends, who are smart. It's just that there's this belief that smart equals successful. That's just not true. Throughout my my life I'm met some wicked smart people who are just getting by and I've met some who many would never use the word smart to describe, yet they successful beyond your wildest dreams. No, it's not smart that determines success. Though being smart may give you a head start.I know this because I have run across many successful people and smart is not what they have in common. What they have in common is they DO things. They create things that people need. They solve problems that others never even knew were a problem. And they get paid handsomely for this.So you're not smart? Big eff'ing deal! If you want to be successful, it's not a requirement so stop letting it hold you back. Get out there and DO something! Because Doing Something is NOT overrated! Think I'm wrong?
