[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 574554, member: 11791"] Fran... you're right about ability vs. success. I know a family where one kid is mensa-level... and a washout. And they have a second kid who is totally average - survived HS, couldn't do college - and is now RICH (through honest hard work, a few lucky breaks, and some good advice...) Interestingly... I'd still rather talk to the mensa washout than the rich guy... I can stand failure but I can't stand arrogance! [/QUOTE]
