Work ethic is motivation - pretty much solely.
Qualification is the only way out of poverty. Education is part of that.
IQ, dumb, lazy, .. we can pretty much leave out of it entirely.
Look at Trump for gods sake... It usually doesnt matter that much. Opportunity, economic development, social scene and so on are more important.
Dumb people get rich. All the time. Motivated, high work ethic people loose jobs. All the time. There has to be zero correlation (one has nothing to do with the other) at this point...
What happens rather, is that successful people get praised by everyone around them (social mechanism of people wanting to make friends) -- then they start to believe, that they are something special, and look at certain character traits to rectify that.
Look I've had high work ethik. Look I've had strong business acumen, look - I have superior intelligence.
Usually its nothing of the above.
But then you have them telling that to everyone - and people are picking it up, because that person must know, because they are successful...
