The Dangerous Myth of “Being Smart” | Napoleon Hill

Описание: The world is full of intelligent men who never achieve distinction.

They are informed.
They are educated.
They are “smart.”

And yet — they remain average.

The harsh truth is this: general intelligence does not produce riches. Knowledge alone has no value unless it is organized, directed, and applied toward a definite purpose.

In this lesson on Specialized Knowledge, you will learn:

Why education without direction leads to frustration

The difference between being intelligent and being effective

Why many highly educated individuals struggle financially

How successful men organize knowledge around a definite chief aim

Why power comes not from what you know, but how you use what you know

The majority accumulate facts.
The minority accumulate results.

The majority pride themselves on being informed.
The minority discipline themselves to become specialized.

Every great fortune began when someone chose to master a specific field and align it with a definite purpose. Specialized knowledge, when combined with imagination and organized planning, becomes power.

Being “smart” is not enough.
You must become deliberate.
You must become focused.
You must become indispensable in a chosen area.

If you feel overlooked despite your intelligence…
If you have knowledge but not the results you desire…
This message will correct your course.

Choose your field.
Commit to mastery.
Organize your knowledge.

And transform intelligence into achievement.
