Your high IQ will kill your startup

Being intelligent is like having a knife. If you train every day in using the knife, you will be invincible. If you think that just having a knife will make you win any battle you fight, then you will fail. This [belief] in your own inherent ability is what will kill your startup. Success comes from the work and ability you put in becoming better than the others, and not from some brilliance you feel you may have within you.

I enjoyed the thoughtful story, and it reminds me that success comes from smarts and hard work, not just smarts on their own.
