All it means is that you have to work at different things harder than a person with a lower IQ.For most things in life having an iq of 100 ( which is like slightly above average ) is more than enough
The higher the iq level after that, the more you will go towards the “autistic” side
Most of the wealthy people are not geniuses. Look at bill gates, he made most of the money from parenting software that he did not write
Not even Steve Jobs had a big iq
I used to get A's in school barely studying or opening a book. Lower IQ people had to study their asses off to get B's or C's sometimes.
I had to work very hard to come out of my introvert shell and learn how to be extroverted when I need to be and be social and learn how to talk with women. That was very difficult for me and I had to work really hard at it. Being in sales was the best thing that happened in that regard...you learn how to interact with people or you don't eat. Forces you to learn and adapt really quick. For some of the other lower IQ people it came easy.
You never have to accept where you are at in life with anything. All this means is that each person will have to work harder at certain things than other things to improve at them, whereas those things come easy for other people.
Now, you may never get to a point where you are as good as someone who it comes naturally to no matter how hard you work at it, but there is no reason you can't greatly improve from where you are at currently.
Lets take golf for example. You might never be a PGA Tour Pro, but if you went out every week and played 4 rounds of golf religiously for a year, you'd notice a huge improvement from where you are now to where you'd be in a year. It's like that with anything in life. If you focus your time and energy on improving in that area, you will improve.
How seriously you take it and how focused you are on doing whatever it takes to improve is usually what separates those who make marked improvement versus those who see little improvement.
