The rest of the world is also smart, what to do ?

From Business Insider

Gabelli, the highest paid chief executive of a publicly traded Wall Street firm, then offered two pieces of sage advice to recent graduates hoping to make their fortune:

1. Work really hard

"The rest of the world is smart. You are smart. Just continue to focus, and have a passion for what you do, figure out what you like doing, and then do it 5 to 9, not 9 to 5."

2. Go without coffee and beer

"Instead of having one latte a day, put it in a bank and watch it grow. If you are 22, and 44 years later, you are 66, that one latte a day that you don't have, where you have a K-Cup you buy at Costco for $0.44, you get one less beer, you look at how much money you have saved.
"You will become not only an important saver but you will have incredible optionality and flexibility in your life independent of your other business."


These are two great pieces of advice. Yes the rest of the world is also smart, but most of the people don't like to work hard. This is your biggest advantage. Yes work hard may be your most important career weapon.
