Who is the smartest person you know? An
average IQ is 100 points, while someone who is a
genius has an IQ of 140 points or more.
Of course we can't all be prodigies (actually, the
IQ score is debatable as a measure of
intelligence), but you can take a cue from Albert
Einstein or Bill Gates by incorporating the
characteristics and habits of highly intelligent
people in your approach to business.
Here are four..
1. Be persistent. Don't let failure define
you. After all, Thomas Edison had to
get through more than 1,000
prototypes for the light bulb before he
made one that worked.
2. Be goal-oriented. Setting a high bar
for yourself and sharing your goals
with others -- whether they are
friends or colleagues -- can make
you more likely to accomplish them.
3. Read more. People who read for 15
minutes a day can be exposed to
more than 1 millon words a year.
4. Be curious. Smart people are always
asking questions, making inferences
and thinking critically about the world
around them.

smart people, check out the video above.
