T/F: Energy >>> Intelligence
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 25th, 2015 9:32 PM Author: Razzle lilac mad-dog skullcap wagecucks Obviously having both is TCR but in business, politics, etc., it seems like just pure energy/drive and an ability to work more and work harder is a more important trait than having a ton of intelligence.

Date: August 25th, 2015 9:49 PM Author: Transparent Hairraiser Business Firm Athletic Conference I agree. However, one needs a certain baseline intelligence to be effective, but it doesn't need to be a 140 IQ or any shit like that. A 115-120 IQ and tons of energy/drive will take a person very far in life. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2972967&forum_id=2#28625043) |

Date: August 25th, 2015 10:00 PM Author: Razzle lilac mad-dog skullcap wagecucks It's amazing. As I survey my friends, the ones with energy and drive (and a healthy dose of balls) are making the most money. The smartest ones typically went the traditional path and are doing fine but not crazy well like the first group I described. I mean directional state U kids outdoing YLS and HBS alum buddies. Granted some risk aversion and balls plays into this too but I think the key is energy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2972967&forum_id=2#28625114) |

Date: August 25th, 2015 10:02 PM Author: racy quadroon party of the first part Why is that amazing? They're putting in twice as much work. Most of the work you have to do to be successful does not require a 140+ IQ unless you are in a research-intensive academic field or are a quant or something.

Date: August 25th, 2015 10:01 PM Author: Citrine vibrant new version ENERGY. i recently got a prescription for dexedrine, and FUCK brothers, it made me realize i've wasted the last decade of my life having no energy to do anything. when i take it i actually have the drive to do the things i normally just sit around hating myself for not doing. i was surprised by how familiar the feeling was, too -- it's like how i used to feel when i was a teenager. it also makes me super jealous of people who can work hard on their own.
only problem is i don't wanna take that shit every day. it's pretty speedy and i don't wanna destroy my heart, even though the doc says it's ok. so i just "as needed" whenever i don't want to be a waste of life |

Date: August 25th, 2015 10:03 PM Author: racy quadroon party of the first part one weird NATURAL trick you can use to gain more energy is exercise more....everyone knows that though.
another weird old tip is to do something you enjoy, the energy will come naturally. |

Date: August 25th, 2015 10:08 PM Author: Citrine vibrant new version brother, does that REALLY work? i haven't exercised consistently since high school, so maybe that really would do the trick. i seriously don't exercise at all.
lol but if i had the will to regularly exercise i wouldn't need the extra energy in the first place. is it safe to exercise on amphetamines? |

chicken and the egg thing really. you'll hate it at first but its a feedback loop thing and soon enough it will be natural and you'll get addicted, have more energy, etc.
eh.....any kind of upper probably increases risk of heart attack, especially while doing vigorous exercise. but I would think the risk at low doses of Dexedrine is pretty trivial. its not coke or meth (well it is meth but its like....diet meth). |

but yeah if you feel like your heart is starting to beat out of your chest definitely cool it down. and I wouldn't take my meds right before doing cross-fit or sprints or some shit like that. |

Date: August 25th, 2015 10:25 PM Author: Razzle lilac mad-dog skullcap wagecucks Fuck yeah it works. Hard to get over the immediate hump though and to get the momentum going. Eating like shit and drinking hurt the momentum tons. Looking forward to the fall to get back on it properly. My summer weekends are never spent in the gym.

Date: August 26th, 2015 1:07 AM Author: Spectacular canary factory reset button gunner I think they're interchangeable, like E=mc^2. Having a lot of intelligence means you can accomplish the same things with less energy but look super productive while you jack off on xo 13 hours a day. Of course this only holds true for certain tasks. STEM shit. Politics, I don't think intelligence is even all that useful after a certain point.

Date: August 26th, 2015 7:35 AM Author: erotic reading party church building This is right. I know my field well, and can produce a "normal amount " for a day by 11am. I then sit on the results until about 5.30, screw around on my own projects for the rest of the day, and send a bunch of emails just before 6. Couldn't do that in politics etc though.

Date: August 26th, 2015 1:12 AM Author: bright passionate church for 95% of jobs you can grind through with like a 80th percentile intelligence. you see energy/will get a lone done, energy/will combined with intelligence get some impressive shit done, but intelligence combined with a weak will or low drive rarely accomplishes anything. it's worse than anything else in fact because at least people forgive a stupid person for a low level of achievement.
anyway energy and will are a habitual matter moral confidence |
