In the narrow sense, an intelligent person is someone who gets good grades, easily understands new information, quickly sees patterns, and has a good memory. In the broad sense, intelligence means that someone is able to apply the knowledge they have to reach the goals they want or need. Knowing lots of trivia and doing well on tests, while certainly something to brag about, is worthless if it’s not applied in a meaningful way.

They explain that luck plays the biggest factor in wealth distribution. “Our simulation clearly shows that such a factor is just pure luck.” They add: “It is evident that the most successful individuals are also the luckiest ones. And the less successful individuals are also the unluckiest ones.”

An 85-year Harvard study found that by proactively investing in positive relationships, we become more resilient to stress. This leads to us living healthier, happier, and far longer lives. The impact of these relationships is even bigger than exercising or eating well (which are, nonetheless, important, too!).
So, if you reframe success as happiness and longevity, then your main focus shouldn’t be on earning more money, but on deepening your relationships with the people you care about!
