Kevin Kelly writes that enthusiasm is worth 25 IQ points . I wholeheartedly agree.
Watch this video by Casey Neistat and tell me you can't feel the enthusiasm he has for his city, his work, and his craft. It's palpable. It's also what makes him who he is: all of his videos have this infectious energy.
I've been thinking a lot about interviewing, and have come to a simple conclusion: I would rather work with someone who is enthusiastic than with someone who is smart. So much so that I am willing to tolerate meaningfully worse intelligence if they bring overwhelming energy and enthusiasm.
