[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone thinks they have to work twice as hard, lady.  This forum, at least the early thread tells you there is more to rising to the top than just smarts. [/quote]

You are right about that!  The top people are smart but not necessarily THE smartest.  As one pp said, top workers know how and are willing to take risks, are effective communicators and can build relationships and trust.

I feel you, 11:37 who said, "No matter how much better I am at my work, I have to work 2 to 3 times harder to get the same recognition."  It's quite sad that with your self contrived superior intellectualism you don't realize you are actually not that smart.  Do some self reflection - it's seems like a lack of soft skills is what may be holding you back - perhaps too little play as a child????

As for your kids, step away from Kumon, chess club, robotics, violin lessons and let your kids PLAY.  :idea:  Send them out to the park and let them learn how to organize a pick up game of football or build a fort in the woods!  Your kids will have the same challenges you do if you focus their time on academics and structured extracurricular activities such that they don't have the interpersonal  experiences as children.  They too will have to work 2-3 times harder - do you really want that for them?
