Some who never learned to read have awesome vision. I see natural human capabilities on a continuum like a ladder stretching to the sky, with me on a low rung on that ladder. To climb, I certainly need more knowledge and to work smarter and delegate more. But also I would have to increase my speed of thought, which may not be possible to do. In business, in any employment, in self employment, we chase success.
Money is the universal incentive.
No company has allowed me to work less hard and earn less so I could put energy elsewhere. Some are supremely wealthy, some are not. And many who become successful succumb to temptation and fall, and the higher they are the further they fall. We are told by motivational speakers that all we need to do to be successful is to want something enough. This is a lie - or at least a logical fallacy.
