On Perfection

This article espouses simplicity in corporate branding for success. I think the same applies to anything else. Aside from that, this quote from the author of The Little Prince is especially beautiful:

French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery expressed the simplicity principle elegantly when he said, “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Eudaimonia

What's it like to have an IQ of 150? Is life really super easy? 

In all honesty, I think the question above is moot. Whether life is easy or not, is something that has, in my opinion, very little to do with intelligence. It has a lot more to do with attitude, kindness and compassion. 

Despite the silly question and some self-centred answers, I have learnt something new from Quora - the term and concept of  "eudaimonia". 

This guy on Quora explains it like this: 

"[A]im for eudaimonia, Aristotle's term for the happiness in life that arises out of fulfillment.  To be fulfilled, you must do things you like. You must associate with people, professional and personally, whom you respect and who offer something to you.  You can be that solitary preacher inveighing against others or promoting something, but if you receive nothing back you become quickly an emptied vessel.  If you find those more intelligent than you, have the self-confidence to welcome them and to learn from them. Otherwise you'll be sitting atop the mountain and you may very well be a God, but whom precisely will you be ruling?"

Love it. :)
