There are four (4) kinds of people in the world. Unfortunately, only one of them succeeds. I guarantee you; you've never heard this before.
1 - The Genius
2 - The Dummy
3 - The Dummy who thinks he's a Genius
4 - The Human I Call Stupidis Noquitis
Let it be known to the world,
Woodring Saint Preux Discovered the fourth human being.
When I finally realized which kind I was, it hit me like a brick. For the first time in my life I realized,
Oh My god! If I continue like this, I will never be rich!
Let's break it down, so you can find out who you are.
==============
1. The Genius
The Genius is the best of all 4 types. He is the one who comes up with all the great ideas. I mean he's a lean, mean, thinking machine. This guy is so freaking smart, It's not even funny.
Unfortunately, The genius never succeeds!
Why Not?
Because he's too busy thinking. Every time he comes up with a bright idea that could make him rich, before he can get the idea to work, he has a better idea, then a better one.
The genius spends all his life in search of the Ultimate Idea
Sad!
=============
2. The Dummy
The dummy is a funny character.
He has a brain but he only uses it to think about terrible life is
He constantly complains about how miserable he is.
Every single thing that happens to him is a tragedy.
He spends his entire life working in dead end jobs.
he will never take a risk because he think risk-takers are Dumb.
The dummy sits there all day having no clue what he has to do next, every single day of his life, he's waiting for directions, waiting for someone to tell him what to do.
The dummy doesn't know how to be a leader. he's also a terrible follower. he's really good at complaining, being pessimistic. He believes it's his destiny to be a nobody, a looser.
The dummy will go through life but never leaves a trace for his offspring to follow. He wakes up everyday fighthing with the alarm clock.
The dummy never succeeds; even if he would win or inherit a lot money, he would find a way to blow it.
Sad!
==================================
3. The Dummy Who Thinks He's Smart
This guy is very dangerous. Lethal!
He thinks...
You see,
So he comes up with the stupidest ideas while trying to compete with the genius. Every once in a while, he will come up with a good idea, but instead of trying to cultivate the idea, he consults with other Smart Dummies who talk him out of it.
He brags about every little thing that makes him look good.
He is the perfect show off.
He will dive in debt so that he can keep up with the Jones.
He thinks a big house is an investment.
His favorite past time is sports, I mean he's an expert.
He subscribes to ever financial magazines that exist.
he looses a lot of money playing the stock market.
His biggest pride is...
His Masters Degree
His PHD
and knowing that he is better off than the Dummy.
He is Mr. Know-It-All and because he is so smart, he never fails.
Of course he never fails because he's smart enough to stay away from anything he thinks is too risky.
When opportunity knocks, he will find every single reason in the world to prove that it's just not going to work.
He is the first one to spot Pyramid Schemes.
The Dummy who thinks he's smart is very easy to spot
Every time he talks, The first word that comes out of his mouth is I
I am
I want
I know
I own
I have
What an idiot!
Why do you think world is falling apart? There are a lot of Dummies in high positions who are making what they believe to be Smart decisions.
What do they do when they fail?
They make another Smart decision to cover it up.
If you ever spot one of these humans, stay away from him,
I mean...
Run like hell!
==========================================
4. Stupidis Noquitis - The 4th Homosapien
Yes...
It's about time somebody gave him a name... he has never been really defined until today... I'm about to shock you!...
You're ready?...
Stupidis Noquitis (stupid-iss no-quit-iss) is not as dumb as he looks... and he knows that...
he's no where near being a genius... and he knows that too...
He knows that the DUMMY is always laughing at him, calling him stupid... but he doesn't care...
He knows that the SMART DUMMY always like to do things that he can brag and feel good about
He also knows that the GENIUS is always throwing away great ideas...
Stupidis Noquitis knows all this because Stupidis Noquitis took the time to understand how people think.
He knows to shut up
He knows to listen
He knows to observe
So!...
What good does that do him?...
Ah!...
Glad you asked!...
Stupidis Noquitis hangs around the GENIUS...
and waits...
and waits...
until the GENIUS throws away an idea...
then...
Stupidis Noquitis GRABS the idea...
and runs with it...
He takes the idea...
and he WORKS it...
and he WORKS it until he either SUCCEEDS or he FAILS
Stupidis Noquitis already knows that 9 (nine) out of 10 (ten) times, he will fail
So...
When he FAILS...
he runs back to the GENIUS...
and waits...
He waits for him to have another BRAINSTORM and dump yet another great idea...
then he grabs it...
and he runs again...
Stupidis Noquitis will continue to do that until he finds success (that 1 out 10 times) then he will do something that neither the GENIUS, nor the SMART DUMMY, nor the DUMMY ever expected....
Once he finds an idea that works...
He protects that idea
He builds a system around the idea
He puts it on auto pilot
Then...
He hires a GENIUS to make the idea better...
and better...
and better...
Then...
He hires the DUMMY to work the assembly lines...
Quick note >> Whether you are assembling a hamburger in a fast food restaurant or a car in a manufacturing plant, It is still an assembly line.
Then...
He hires the SMART DUMMY to keep an eye on both the GENIUS and the DUMMY...
You see..
That's exactly what the SMART DUMMY like to do... Boss around those who are smarter then him... and laugh at those who are dumber than he is...
Then...
STUPIDIS NOQUITIS goes back to the GENIUS and waits...
and waits...
Now...
he can afford to wait...
he can afford to fail...
he can even afford to pay the GENIUS just to come up with ideas
While the Genius is Brainstorming...
While the Dummy is working...
While the Smart Dummy is keeping an eye on them...
Stupidis Noquitis is out there playing golf, Enjoying his life and training his offspring to continue his legacy.
Which one are you?
Of all 4 types, you must find out who you are. If I were to choose for you, then I would be judging you.
