A step by step tool for top achievers

What is the moral of the story?
1. Many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment.
2. A person may have high intelligence but poor judgment.
3. Choose your advisers carefully and use your judgment.
4. A person can and will be successful with or without formal education if they have the 5
Cs:
♦
 
character
♦
 
commitment
♦
 
conviction
♦
 
courtesy
♦
 
courage
5. The tragedy is that there are many walking encyclopedias who are living failures.
Intelligence is quickness to leam. Ability is the skill to apply what is learned. Competence
is the ability and the desire to apply what is learned. Desire is the attitude that makes a
skillful person competent. Many skillful people are incompetent. Ability without the right
attitude is wasted.
The first duty of a university is to teach wisdom, not trade; character, not technicalities.
