There are some days of your life when you feel like a useless piece of trash, you feel frustrated and think about all the people that is trying to achieve the same goals as you, trying to make it in the make money on the internet business or whatever [you put here....]. You might believe that you don’t have what is needed to make the cut. Well my friend … think again, If someone like George Bush is able to be the president of a country like the United States then everything is possible in this life!.

A couple of years ago I was attending a big banking seminar. My expectations before going to the seminar was that I would find a big bunch of amazingly prepared “well dressed” people ready to jump on any kind of financial subject in a snap and be able to make a right in the nail market analysis like if they were prophets. I was completely intimidated, and more if everyone would tell you that only the cream of the cream would assist to such kind of financial seminar.


After the seminar, I said to myself, “or I am an above average kind of person or all this people are just more the same” ? Well the truth, there was nothing special about this seminar, people were just people. And the reasoning is quite easy to understand:

First of all, lets take a look at the following IQ table

To gain a clearer perspective regarding what this means in terms of our daily contacts with people, let’s take a trip down to our local mall, so that neighborhood inhomogeneities don’t affect the shoppers we’ll find at the store. That way, we’ll be seeing a nearly random public on our trip.

Let’s suppose that we’re going to see 100 other shoppers while we’re here shopping, and then consider their breakdown by IQ.

On the basis of the law of averages:

  • we’d expect to see one person here with an IQ below 64!
  • There’d be someone else with an IQ between 64 and 68.
  • There should be 3 more with IQs between 69 and 75. In other words, if this is a random crowd, 1 out of 20 people we’re going to meet will have IQs below 75, and will be seriously retarded! (I guess we’re lucky the world works as well as it does.) Keep your eyes peeled.
  • See if you can spot ‘em. About 1 out of 10 people we’ll walk past here at Walmart has an IQ below 80, or about 10 of the 100 people who cross our paths here in the store! Hey, look! Does she look kind of sagaciously-challenged to you?
  • One out of 5, or 20 of the 100 people we’re seeing have IQs below 87, with about 1 in 10 in the 80 to 87 IQ range.
  • Half the crowd, or 50 out of the 100, has below-average intelligence!
  • And of course, the other half has above-average intelligence.
  • Twenty of them (1 out of 5) have IQs above 113.
  • Ten of them, or 1 in 10, have IQs above 120.
  • Five of them have IQs above 125, and have the potential to become university professors with Ph. D’s.
  • Two of them have IQs of 132 or above, and are potential members of Mensa. One of them has an IQ above 136.

So that means that at least 1 of every 2 persons that you will ever meet in your life will not be a rocket scientist orthe next guy that will discover the cure for cancer.

Now, think about the latest presidents around the world (ehhemmm Bush)… What do you think are their IQs (intelligence Quotation) ?.

Now that you have the answer: then there is nothing to be afraid as there is no relation between being rich and your Intelligence. There is nothing to be worried about, all you need is focus, a good management and understanding of yourself and the desire to succeed! It is all about burning passion and common sense. Do not let anyone tell you that you are not capable (consider the table above) of doing something. It is stupid… the statistics work in our favor.

I used to have this problem in which I would always believe that I was not good enough to get my dream job, it is clear that it was all in my head… there is no way to not be the best if you just think a “little bit” out of the box.

The fact that you are reading this and that you managed to find this blog speak already a lot about yourself. You were able to do some clicking on your PC :D :D … that means that you already have some abilities ! :) … remember that everything is ran by PCs these days.
