My brother said this one time and I think it applies here. In terms of career success, IQ is the Y Axis you start out at, but hard work is the X axis representing how far you get in that field. It is the responsibility of those high on the Y axis to push just as hard along the X axis. What is success for one person is not success for another, so just set expectations based on things that take hard work as opposed to brute force intelligence. School isn't really an indication either way of future success, of my smartest friends, they typically end up closer to the top of their field, but many failed at school/academic pursuits and got into other lines of work, creative endeavors, etc.
