I recently read about a study in MIT Technology Review that looked into the relationship between intelligence and success.1Source: MIT Technology Review The researchers tried to learn the connection between being smart and being rich.
They concluded: “The most successful people are not the most talented, just the luckiest.”
I think this is true. There’s no correlation between knowledge and wealth. As Warren Buffett once said:
“If past history was all that is needed to play the game of money, the richest people would be librarians.”
