"The lifelong excuse that intelligence isn't everything is merely something the stupid tell themselves to boost their low self-esteem."

Rather harsh. Intelligence really isn't everything; I know more than one really smart person who is disliked by a great majority of their peers due to their... less than stellar social skills. In the long run, social skills really do have the potential to carry you far. Of course, you have to have the smarts, or at least some degree of them, but they really aren't that important...
Then again, there are the smart people who can fake their social skills until that one fateful moment when the claws come out and the knives plunge into your back. Those are the worst.
