Superior people learn quickly. The more quickly you learn, the more knowledge you have. Superior people can recognize a situation. It doesn't take Einstein's brain and two pots of coffee to realize that if you recognize opportunities before they pass, you'll have an advantage over those people who don't. However, it does take a superior person to actually recognize those opportunities.
Superior people have the ability to adapt quickly.
After you recognize an opportunity, you must adapt quickly to your new circumstances in order to reap your reward. This concept is abstract and, therefore, difficult to explain, but think of it as having the ability to mentally prepare yourself for any undertaking. The more situations to which you can adapt yourself, the greater your possible achievements. Superior people have the ability to influence people. This characteristic, by far, is the most important of the four.
