Diligence or Intelligence

Some people think that intelligence is the most important thing for success. They say that all of the scientists and experts of the world are geniuses who made all the inventions. All of the capable people and the social elite are of superior intelligence.

Some other people take different viewpoints. They believe that not intelligence but diligence is of greater importance to one’s success. According to their viewpoints, many or the majority of successful people are of only average intelligence; even if they do have high intelligence, it is not inherent but it is gained through constant and diligent efforts. Therefore, diligence is the most essential element to success.

In my opinion both intelligence and diligence are important to success. Without intelligence even if you work very hard and make great efforts, the chance of success is still slim; without diligence even if you are extremely clever, most probably you will still be a good-for-nothing. Success requires combining intelligence with diligence. As long as you have average intelligence and keep making efforts, you will have chances to succeed.
