Have you ever met a successful old friend who was not so bright in school? Or have you ever met one of your bright school mates who in fact is jobless now and still depends on his parents support? Well, I believe that you have met one.. or even many of them.
High IQ (intelligence quotient) is not a guarantee of a successful life in whole. This point of view is not 100% wrong, but we shouldn't put this IQ into the main requirement for the successful people life. A successful life is determined by many factors, not by a conventional intelligence measure which focuses more on standardized intelligence of linguistics and mathematics.
The process of teaching and learning in Indonesian schools tends to be based only on the use of mathematics-logic and linguistics competence, and therefore kills the other competence.
There are nine competences that lead to a successful life. They are linguistics, mathematics-logic, visual formation, kinaesthetic movement, music, interpersonal cooperation, interpersonal environment and existence.
The bad and dangerous thing, though it still goes on, is the concept of senior high students who always believe that IPA or Science Stream is the most preferable, the best and prospective stream among the other two streams, IPS (Social) and Bahasa (Linguistic). This is not true. High IQ cannot fully guarantee your success in life.
The successful of your life is actually determined by your hard work, your good effort, your consistence and prayer to win your dream. Lazy people, even though they have high IQ, will gain nothing in future as they are lazy to do anything. On the other hand, those who are diligent and hard workers will achieve more in their life.
Here is a good motto to be success : keep studying, keep working, and keep praying.
