Getting Shit Done

The level of productivity is relative. "Productive" depends on you're level of understanding and expertise on whatever you're working on. So when comparing two people one person finishes something in one day but it takes another person a week to do the same task. The first person has more experience doing this thing than the second person has. The first person finished the task and just takes a break for the rest of the week. The second person fished the task days later, but has been constantly working on it. The first person wasn't productive. The second person was.

Some of my friends are just plain old stupid. But what they don't have in intelligence they make up for with hard work. What some one needs to be brilliant is a mix between intelligence and hard work. You may be born with the thought process of a genius, but without hard work no one in the world is going to know that but you. I mean, maybe it was easy for people in the 1800s to get themselves out there just on their smarts, but in todays dog eat dog world everyone has the opportunity to learn. Even the worst public schools out there could help bring out a brilliant person. It's about what the brilliant person puts into school. If he puts in a lot of work, he gets out a big reward.

Do these two paragraphs seem to relate to eachother? If not, sorry. Just thinking through blog.
