CQ + PQ > IQ

I realised for the umpteenth time yesterday that the difference between a very good professional and a great one, one who does very well and the other who is phenomenally successful, a person who is an important part of a company and a person who is integral to its success is the passion quotient. Being intelligent takes you only thus far but having a passion along with intelligence makes sure that even sky is not the limit!

This is for all those people I have met and keep meeting who are truly passionate about what they do! Kudos!!!!!!!

PS: The title of the post in a line from Thomas Friedman’s ‘The world is flat’. (PQ: Passion Quotient; CQ: Curiosity Quotient; IQ: Intelligence Quotient)

I'd go for the passionate one any day! :) The earlier companies in India realise this the better. There is always that unnecessary stress on academics. As Nietzsche says and I quote "You need chaos in your soul to to give birth to a dancing star."
