it doesn’t matter how intelligent and witty and knowledgeable you are if you don’t do anything with it

like sure okay you could probably write a better book than me that’s great that’s fine i’m proud of you

but i sat down and wrote a book in a month and even if it’s shit at least i did something

and you can know seven thousand digits of pi and i won’t be impressed until you get off your ass and do something with the information you have

because seriously it takes a whole different kind of knowledge to actually do something with what you have and what you know

just knowing it isn’t enough

and you know what? you might not be capable of doing anything more than that

and until you prove that you can actually put in the commitment, that you can take that super science math brain of yours and apply it to actually, you know, doing your work? i’m not going to respect your abilities

because you lack the ability to apply that and that ability is not something to be underestimated or overlooked and it takes a serious amount of effort and skill
