Nerds are the most successful people in the world (who can sustain their success too)

Found this quote from Wikipedia by searching for the word "nerd".

"…what they lack in physical strength they make up in brain power. Who writes all the best selling books? Nerds. Who directs the top grossing Hollywood movies? Nerds. Who creates the highly advanced technology that only they can understand? …Nerds. And who are the people who run for the high office of the Presidency? No one but nerds."

I so agree with this statement!!! (Because I obviously lack physical strength, if you have seen me during PE lessons. I have flat feet, a ridiculously poor stamina AND sense of balance while standing in a moving bus. My reflexes are worse.)

Just look at the richest chap in the world: Bill Gates.

Is he good looking?
NO.

Does he dress fashionably?
Er?

Is he smart?
Hell yes! He was from Harvard.

Is he physically strong and good in sports?
I haven't seen any sources from the internet discussing about this topic. So I assume that he wasn't great at it.

SEE? Bill Gates is obviously a nerd. HEHE.
Once, during a PE lesson, we were playing softball. (which I absolutely abhor because I am so blardy slow in running)
And I overheard Victoria saying that people who are good in sports are all good in their studies.
I say, IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE? This is just a poor hypothesis which has not been proven. -_-
I strongly believe that mental power is more superior than physical strength.
Physical strength is not permanent, it will leave you when you're older.
And oh yes.
Beauty perishes after you become old. (that's for all the bimbos out there)
Only brain power stays with you for a lifetime.

Yes, models and sportspeople may earn huge chunks of money pretty fast if they're good,
but can their talent be used to their financial and social advantage forever?

=O

So hey,
what's so bad about nerds? =D
