Summary

This quote emphasizes that practical intelligence, or the ability to apply knowledge and skills in real-life situations, is a stronger predictor of job success than traditional IQ tests (G). The speaker claims that they have conducted numerous studies showing that practical intelligence is more closely aligned with one's ability to succeed in a work environment compared to IQ. This suggests that the ability to practically apply knowledge and skills is of greater importance in job performance than solely relying on cognitive abilities measured by IQ.

In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colorless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again(15).
