Busting The IQ Myth: Action Over Intelligence
Lower the IQ, the more money they make.
If you are an engineer. By definition, engineers are analytical. And quite simply, if you make a mistake, normally, if you are building a bridge or building a car, ship, planes, whatever it is, alot of people are going to die, so you are trained to be safe.
You overanalyze things, you study things, you think of all the possible permutations, all the possibilities of what can go wrong, and if you do that enough, you will come up with enough reasons not to do it at all.
Because taking action isn't doing a spreadsheet, taking action isn't listening to a podcast, taking action isn't reading a book, okay?
Taking action is actually taking action.
If you are an engineer, an accountant, a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist, a professional or even a PhD holder, etc. You have learned to study and to take action in a certain fact pattern.
