Being intelligent is good but it would be a mistake in my opinion to over emphasize this one attribute.

Lots of intelligent people are somewhat deficient in drive, motivation and ambition.

For example, one of the smartest people I know is a Mensa member. He works as a self employed home handyman. But you'd never guess it by looking at his house. He lives in a rundown fixer upper that he bought 20 years ago and it still looks pretty much the same.
