A tribute to Dilbert , amongst other things

This strip by Dilbert captures the essence of success in all my endeavours till date. All my succesful endeavours were backed up by hard work, Of course hard work had gone into several projects which were failures, but the point I am trying to convey is that none had succeeded without hardwork.
Well, an analysis of my peer group show's that the amount of effort required for success is individual and is in direct proportion to the so called "Intelligence".
