Money or Intelligence

What you are trying to say is that you seek job satisfaction. But for one's survival one needs to earn. Till such time that you can say that you have enough for your survival you need to make some compromises and take up jobs that can help you earn.

Don't ever compromise on your goal for perfection. Ultimately, quality would always win. However, there is also a need for efficient work.Your goal for perfection ought not to make you compromise on your time because there would always be limitations for everybody.In this world you need money too and your intelligence must be put to competitive and productive use. But set your targets, learn to live frugally if you want to have money and achieve perfection too.If you are in a job, then you would have to give 100 percent of your efforts in some ares where it really counts and less on other areas where it really does not count.Channelising your intelligence is a smart way of working. YOu will get money but 'knowledge is power'and striving for perfection and working to your own satisfaction would fetch you results tomorrow if not today. But keep checking whether you re doing it properly in the right direction. All the best!

Always go for intelligence first. Using your intelligence can lead you to making money. Do not nit pick so much on perfection that you ignore the core knowledge and reasons for things. Concentrating too much on perfection can freeze one from walking forward. Never allow that.

I think that really intelligence is the way to go. You can make all of the money in the world but if you don't have the smarts, then you might do something stupid with said money. There are many people out there who have stumbled into huge fortunes, where they are really going to earn a lot of money. However, they tend to blow it all away to say the very least. I find that in the end, its intelligence that makes the world go around, not how much money we have. Of course, when you really think about it, you do need to have both in many ways and there is no reason why you cannot really have both. I try and apply my intelligence to earn as much money as I can. That is just the way things tend to work in the world.

This is only my opinion but I think it is like education or work. Both are separate things making money or working for a purpose (perfection, intelligence). As in the case for companies that do research, they invest time and money but they get little return for the actually effort. However, this investment does not mean that later in another activity, that is the application that comes from the research that money will not be made but it is at another time or location. Does this help with the question or is it just confusing? Thanks for posting this question.
