Shallow, but that's human nature.
Quote: AZDuffmanCharisma will get you there, look at how many people like our current president. And of those, when questioned why, look how many people can only answer "he speaks so well" or "it is just something about him."
I wonder how Duffster can spin "Which Ice Cream do you like best" into a political rant sprinkled with genteel racism.
Oddly the only people who are surprised that our President who received his JD from Harvard Magna Cum Laude can speak so well can usually only see his pigment from those little eye slits in their hood.

Please explain where there is any racism in my statement.

There wasn't. I find it funny when people like us are accused of being "racist" because we don't love Obama. I usually explain: "I didn't love Mondale. I didn't love Dukakis. I didn't love Clinton. I didn't love Gore. I didn't love Kerry. I don't love Obama...If, after you review my history, you believe my lack of affection for the President is because of the color of his skin, you are the narrow-minded one."
It's nice to read your posts again, AZD.
Determination
Ability
Most people don't really know what they want.
Those who do, often get sidetracked and never achieve it.
Having finally achieved it, they must realize what they've finally won.
Not that your physical features would change to be more attractive, but lots of money can make you attractive to lots of chicks, but your wisdom will keep you from doing anything stupid with them!

Charisma is what I chose.

Luckily, I have a geek job AND a great career. But then I'd rather be lucky than good.
Basically, it might not be the best thing to have, but thankfully I have some brains, as without 'em, I'd be poor AS WELL AS friendless and never getting laid.

"Emotional Intelligence" (sometimes rated by EQ instead of IQ) is a somewhat overrated term, and it does have some characteristics of Charisma, but it is important. As a nod to the Wizard, I think he has a lot of EQ as well as IQ.
As someone once said to me, "It doesn't matter how smart you are if you can't communicate".
