這答案是否定的
否則現在那些腦袋笨的要死的人怎麼能當上經理老板甚至總統
甚至你拿這些提目去問問國外CEO等級的人,我保證有一半的人答不出來甚至不想理你
舉的例子
還有今天之所以能高樓林立,都是因為有電梯發明 (沒人想爬樓梯上10多層樓吧)
但早期電梯除了用來送貨之外,沒有任何人敢搭乘,因為隨時可能摔死
直到美國Otis發明了安全裝置後才用於載人
然後Otis不過是很多人看不起的貨車司機還有維修師傅
他發明出安全裝置也是經過不斷嘗試失敗
所以人要成功完全是靠邏輯嗎?
答案很明顯絕對不是主要
你對於你想做的事情有熱情與毅力會是更大關鍵
今天有很多有名的大師也不是每個天賦過人資質聰明
反而很多聰明有天賦的人都動腦筋在不好的地方
找一份你覺得有意思的工作
儘管你開始比別人笨,但做久上手了你不會比那些聰明人差
只要你有毅力還有努力難不倒你的
台灣老闆認為設計師不值錢,所以他們產品設計就不值錢

好像不是這樣耶.....在發明電梯安全裝置前
他不到30歲就開始設計自己的磨坊,生意不好還改成鋸木廠,還自己生產製作貨車跟馬車(當然都是木製的),後來還設計一堆機械設備,這種人如果邏輯不好,應該沒法做這麼多東西
Otis was born in Halifax, Vermont to Stephen Otis, and Phoebe Glynn.[1] He moved away from home at the age of 20, eventually settling in Troy, New York, where he lived for five years employed as a wagon driver. In 1834, he married Susan A. Houghton. They would have two children, Charles and Norton. Later that year, Otis suffered a terrible case of pneumonia which nearly killed him, but he earned enough money to move his wife and three-year-old son to the Vermont Hills on the Green River. He designed and built his own gristmill, but did not earn enough money from it, so he converted it into a sawmill, yet still did not attract customers. Now having a second son, he started building wagons and carriages, at which he was fairly skilled. His wife later died, leaving Otis with two sons, one at that time being age 8 and the other still in diapers.
Otis free-fall safety demonstration in 1853.
At 34 years old and hoping for a fresh start, he married and moved to Albany, New York. He worked as a doll maker for Otis Tingely. Skilled as a craftsman and tired of working all day to make only twelve toys, he invented and patented a robot turner. It could produce bedsteads four times as fast as could be done manually (about fifty a day). His boss gave him a $500 bonus. Otis then moved into his own business. At his leased building, he started designing a safety brake that could stop trains instantly and an automatic bread baking oven. He was put out of business when the stream he was using for a power supply was diverted by the city of Albany to be used for its fresh water supply. In 1851,[2] having no more use for Albany, he first moved to Bergen City, New Jersey to work as a mechanic, then to Yonkers, New York, as a manager of an abandoned sawmill which he was supposed to convert into a bedstead factory. At the age of 40, while he was cleaning up the factory, he wondered how he could get all the old debris up to the upper levels of the factory. He had heard of hoisting platforms, but they often broke, and he didn't want to take risks. He and his sons, who were also tinkerers, designed their own "safety elevator" and tested it successfully. He thought so little of it he neither patented it nor requested a bonus from his superiors for it, nor did he try to sell it. After having made several sales, and after the bedstead factory declined, Otis took the opportunity to make an elevator company out of it, initially called Union Elevator Works and later Otis Brothers & Co.. No orders came to him over the next several months, but soon after, the 1854 New York World's Fair offered a great chance at publicity.[2] At the New York Crystal Palace, Elisha Otis amazed a crowd when he ordered the only rope holding the platform on which he was standing cut.[1] The rope was severed by an axeman, and the platform fell only a few inches before coming to a halt. After the World's Fair, Otis received continuous orders, doubling each year. He developed different types of engines, like a three-way steam valve engine, which could transition the elevator between up to down and stop it rapidly.
In his spare time, he designed and experimented with his old designs of bread-baking ovens and train brakes, and patented a steam plow in 1857, a rotary oven in 1858, and, with Charles, the oscillating steam engine in 1860. Otis contracted diphtheria and died on April 8, 1861 at age 49.[1]
