IQ is strongly correlated to success, and it's one of the most consistent findings in statistical psychology.About MJ's "lies to yourself list" all of them are correct, except the IQ one.
Not all smart people are rich, but all self-made rich people are definitely smart.
However in today's world, where you have an abundance of technology, infrastructure, and free access to unlimited knowledge, you don't have to be a genius to become a millionaire. Anyone of average intelligence and decent work ethic can reach this milestone.
If you have high IQ, it means that your car has a powerful engine.
You can take that car and win the race, or you can use it to wrap the nearest tree and die.
So the power of the engine matters, but how you drive it will determine the outcome of your life.
Wisdom beats the hell out of intelligence.
