“There’s some misunderstanding; and that misunderstanding will be our downfall.” – Franz Kafka

​

There’s a widespread misunderstanding.
People confuse intelligence or knowledge with interest.

​
What changes things is interest.

What drives progress is interest.

What is within your control, yes, your control is interest.

​
​
​

Intelligence is understanding something.

Interest is doing it—whether you understand it or not.

​
The money is in doing, not in understanding.

​

And this is something that keeps you poor.

You and most of people, poor.

​

They want to do the next MBA.

To read the next book.

To go to the next conference.

​

But they never do.

​
Knowledge is knowing something.

Interest is listening to those who are doing it better than you and copying them as closely as possible.

​
Not wasting time, not wasting other people’s time—that too is interest.

​

Mistakes made out of carelessness are not about intelligence, they’re about interest.

​
Forgetting things—oh, forgetting is also about interest.

​
Intelligence is the engine, but the fuel is interest.

Even a weak engine will move forward with enough interest.

​

Stop blaming a lack of knowledge or intelligence for what is actually a lack of interest.

​
And I’m not saying this about you—I’m saying it so you choose wisely who you surround yourself with, who you hire, who you work with.

​
