Someone on quora asked:

How come some intelligent people don’t take much action towards their goals?

(a) Knowing what is the right thing to do

(b) Getting the right thing done

The above two are two very different things. A person can be good at one but not the other. Being an intelligent person isn’t particularly relevant to (b), although it can be relevant to (a). (b) is more determined by drive, determination, motivation, etc. than intelligence
