#1 The law of diminishing returns applies to the relationship between IQ and success. When you compare two people of relatively high IQs, you can no longer predict success by IQ alone. The point is that you only have to be smart enough to fulfill the intellectual requirements for success.

#2 The world of sports is a great example of how people who are considered superhuman abilities have actually had little or no innate advantage over their peers. They practiced so hard and intensely that it hurt.

#3 The 10,000 hour rule states that it takes around ten thousand hours of focused, intentional practice to master a skill. However, there are millions of people who work incredibly hard, yet have little success to show for it. The opportunities presented to one are just as important to success as one’s own innate talents.

#4 The path to greatness is not a genetic windfall or divine gift. It is a path that we can all take and derive much benefit, happiness, fulfillment, and success from.
