IQ will not make you rich, but personality will. A rich man somehow can define as genius too, because they are genius of make money. I think it depends on a person’s attitude to become rich.

This means that even if you did poorly in school, it doesn't necessarily follow that you have no chance to be rich. Inversely, it also means that being smart does not essentially give you an advantage over others in becoming wealthy. I agree, you need to tap and unleash your inner genius to be able to seize and take advantage of life's opportunities. But the inner genius we're talking about here are one's talent and true passion and not traditional intelligence such as mathematical and memory skills. You said it yourself, one reason why Filipinos are left behind is because other cultures have more discipline - which I believe is an important trait to achieve wealth. Furthermore, I know that business ventures, personal finance and other money matters is a numbers game. But I think one doesn't need to be able to multiply two-digit numbers in their head to run a successful enterprise. You can hire accountants, financial planners and business specialists to do that for you. What is more important in this perspective is that you have the right attitude, social skills, business focus and determination to make any endeavor successful. And this I believe, is the true inner genius that one needs to have to be wealthy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I hope you come and visit here often. Regards and God bless. Hi bronee,

Ang kaibahan lang nating mga pinoy sa mga chinito typans mas well verse tayo sa wikang english at nag-excel tayo academically. Pero ang mathematics nila hanep. kaya ang mga representative ng Pilipinas sa mga international math quiz galing sa mga chinese school. Grabe ang success nila since ancient china pa hanggang beijing olympics. chinese excels in arts, architechure, engineering, science, inventions, trading, entrepreneurship, academe, inventions, kung-fu at lalo na sa sports. They are more discipline compare to us. lalo nila tayong nauuhan. pati ang india nalampasan na tayo. Indians and Chinese are successful in using ancient system of numbers that contribute to their wealth. even koreans, thais and vietnamese economic power na talaga sila. dati estudyante lang sila ng uplb ngayon sa kanila na tayo nga-iimport ng bigas. I don't say na mas matalino sila sa atin. kaya natin i-unlock our own geniuses hindi lang sa financial skills, enterprising spirits, salesman at negoskills kundi we know how to play the game of numbers. How? In accumulating wealth we must learn how to active the right and leftside of our brain. maging mind magician. ang ibig sabihin right education not traditional schooling in college. You have to be genius to untap your hidden potentials and spot oppurtunies to amass wealth.

Although sometimes we, as bloggers, do write off-topic articles (i.e., for SEO), but looking at it on a macro level - it still serves our end purpose, which is to be able to share to a wider audience our genuine thoughts and opinions. Thanks for finally commenting. I hope that there will be more. :D Hi Jessie,

Alam mo kapatid maraming factors ang contributors ng success. Success comes in many ways, although when we speak of material success (accumulation of wealth), being a genius in one area MAY not guarantee you success. At times we have to "feed the need" of the times. I know you got what I meant. Just like blogging, sometimes we have to write articles that make us money and not what makes us (the writers) happy and contented. :-) Take care and see you around. Fitz,
