MY Answer to Prompt Two
I've come to realize that my earlier notion of success was limited. I used to believe that intellectual intelligence alone was enough to guarantee success. However, over the years, I've learned that successful people aren't just intellectually smart, they're also socially savvy, morally grounded, and versatile. They don't rely on their innate abilities but instead leverage on other skills. This realization has been one of the most life-changing lesson and it's truly enlightening<

Hehehe such a powerful realization, the kind of awareness that changes the way we approach life.
A lot of us grew up thinking book smart was all it took but life shows a different picture 🤣 success really comes from a mix of intelligence, emotional maturity, social skills, values and adaptability. Knowing how to relate with people, how to carry yourself, how to make the right choices, all of that matters just as much as IQ.
I can't blame us; we were young, naive, and our parents or guardians didn't know any better. Some life lessons must be experienced to fully grasp the concept.
You are right and it is a good thing we all learnt from it
