intelligence and success

December 10, 2011 6:59am CST
Some of people could be successful without working hard. On the other hand, many people set down their successes to their hard works. I think intelligence and embracing the opportunity is more important than hardworking to be successful in life. What do you think about this issue?

your thoughts may be in some cases because only hard work in not important to become successful in life.we have to work intelligently so that we do our work in right direction.but if we only working hard without any thoughts then it is difficult to achieve our goals.because donkey also work hard but every body what donkey stands for.

I think both of Intelligence and hard work are important for you, if some opportunities of success occured, maybe you still can't win because of no enough intelligence you have. In some cases, hard work is more important than intelligence, you can meet more opportunities because of your hard work, but you will never embrace opportunities if you always lie in the bed, is it?

There are a lot of successful people who could prove that to work hard with the right opportunity even if not that intelligent would lead us to success. Because even if we are smart enough and we work hard but the right opportunity is not there, then success would still be that far to achieve. That's why when an opportunity knocks we should grab it and be the best we can.

Hello tkarabulut, For me, all of those are the main ingredients of success. Intelligence, hardwork and opportunities. A person who says his success is owed to his hard work is an intelligent person. He knows what he needs to do to be successful. That makes him and intelligent person. I just think some people are lucky that opportunities fall down on them from out of nowhere. But mostly in life, you need to present yourself to an opportunity or you have to really find your opportunity. I may not be able to put my message across very well but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say Good day!

I think intelligence and hardworking are not the bases of being successful in life. Being successful in life is having contented on what you have, and what you really want to happen.

We should have both to be successful. But there is another influence, the LUCK. Some people succeed without effort because of their luck. We get lucky by our good deeds. Luck doesn't help all the time. But it still helps.

I think we need the balance of intelligence and hard work to be truly successful in life. I believe a person with lack of knowledge of his work will not succeed, and also a person who lack perseverance to do work will lose his job and obviously will not become successful in life. have a niceday
