I truly believe it’s a lack of curiosity, people simply are not interested in learning more than they have to.

That’s why I see curiosity as a gift. Friends think I am intelligent, but I’m simply curious enough to learn things.

Agreed. Smart people aren't smart because they simply are. They're smart because they learn how to learn. They learn the recognize that the steps to success involve failure. Being smart is about being willing to feel stupid, since anything new you learn/try you're going to feel overwhelmed.

Not being afraid of failure is key, and the tenacity to drive through it.
