Why your character matters more than your aptitude

I know three people with tested genius IQs that ended up unemployed, broke, or underpaid. All three had character issues and family transgressions and sins.

One person was a social coward, too terrified to talk to people or express her views, and was also an elitist snob that did not acknowledge ordinary people. She attempted her PhD 2-3 times after failing to find work and than moved to another country to visit one of the few places willing to give her a job offer.

I know a guy with a genius iq and is around 50 years old and has never slept with a woman and he has been attempting to make a living as a tutor charging very high fees for low quality service and can’t maintain a long term relationship due to his personality flaws and his habitual dishonesty and pseudo scamming.

I know a girl with a genius IQ but anger management and social control issues, she flunked out of a low tier college, now studies at one of the worst schools in the country, and has never been paid more than minimum wage or had a happy long term relationship.

The bible teaches your success is determined by your humility and your willingness to be honest, not by your intellectual gifts or genetic birth blessings.
