“I can” is 100 times more important than “I.Q”
Putting in the work and saying that you “Can” do something, is so much more valuable than your overall intelligence. Who gives two shits if you went to a top college and scored a 4.0 GPA. who cares. I know so many dipshits that went to phenomenal schools and are smart as fuck but are lazy as shit. They refuse to put the work in. I was never the best student in school neither do I have a 160 I.Q. I just know how to work hard. I’ve learned this over the course of time. There’s days I don’t want to do shit. I’m tired, I’m hungover, I have a massive headache blah, blah, blah. I’ve learned to push through and hustle even when I’m not up to it. Fighting through the difficulties in whatever it is you do is half the battle. You need to have the desire to say you “Can” do it. Let those smart asses with their sophisticated degrees troll around and wait for things to come to them. It won’t because nothing comes to anyone. You have to work for it. Be the person who says they “can” instead of depending on your diploma.
