I may have come to a realization I'd like to share.
I have been trying to come up with a solution to people who struggle with self discipline. They ask me "how" they can stop caring what others think, or "how" they can stop being lazy, and I think I understand the problem.
You need to develop the ability to envision the goal to stay motivated, which requires abstract thinking and the ability to have an internal model of the world.
This requires an IQ above 100.
Is weakness a product of IQ?
@Tfmonkey I think caring about what others think or not caring, for that matter, comes over time; maturity.
Envisioning the goal; model based on Reality are paramount.
Might I include a mastery of emotions, insofar as they are used to focus your efforts. It is hard to stay motivated when you are unsuccessful. Especially after repeated attempts. I think raw talent, or high IQ, puts a man far ahead of a man with just "heart". it is Extremely difficult to compete with a man who is having fun...
