The ability to convert an idea into an achievement is what we will call the Achievement Quotient (AQ). When it comes to success and achievement, it is not intelligence (IQ) that matters most. This is not to despise or minimise the importance of intelligence. Talent and intelligence should always be acknowledged and honoured. Yet, there is a truth that needs to be underscored -Talent and intelligence alone are never enough.
At the end of the journey of life what will matter most is not how prodigious one was in churning out ideas, but how effective one was in executing those ideas. Some people never seem to get things done, and yet they are always busy. The volume of work never seems to diminish, and the time is never sufficient. If they do not change their approach, even if they are reincarnated fifty times these people will never achieve much. Why is this so? The answer lies in Parkinson's Law of time management.
