Social Intelligence Is More Beneficial Than Academic Intelligence

27

i am 28 y.o male. several years ago, i was all about facing my academics, i didnt talk much, engage in social events much. i thought it doesnt matter. i didnt make much friends. i didnt know that success in life depends on who you know and not what you know. now a dozen books later i am sensitive to nuances in human emotion. i appreciate the skill in which actors are able to speak for 20 minutes without stuttering. i appreciate and i am building on my intonation and oratory by speaking in front of a mirror. All those things i felt uneasy to speak in conversations i am speaking them now. i am a kind of person that exudes an relaxed aura. that makes people seldom initiate convos when am with them. now i am initiating more convos. i feel liberated. isnt social intelligence a faster route to success in relationships and wealth than academic intelligence.?
