Very interesting thoughts. Nassim Taleb's name for people with high intelligence (The Intellectual Yet Idiot) who can't seem to make smart decisions caught my eye. Where I'm from they are usually called 'educated fools.'

I was also intrigued by #6. "The Ability to Understand the Extent of Your Own Ignorance." I've always lived by the thought of, you don't know what you know until you know it. Intelligence won't get you there. You have to be wise enough to know the difference. I like a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, ' Failure is Success in Progress.' You just have to keep on trying. Thanks for your wisdom!
