About This Quote
If you aren't cute, you may as well be clever. There are two types of intelligence in the world; one is intelligence which can be measured by IQ tests, the other is intelligence which is what you see in people. The kind of intelligence which can be measured by intelligence tests is intelligence which has been proven to exist in people (IQ). The kind of intelligence which exists in people is called charisma.
Charisma does not exist in people who are not very attractive. A person’s intelligence and charisma are both not very important in life. Intelligence and charisma are like beauty and talent, they can take care of themselves without much help.
