As stated, it's a fool's errand. Go look up spelling bee recipients of past and see how they turned out. You will find no captain of industry or other person of note. Success is not a destination. Winning a spelling bee is.

The same is true of chess players but they are very smart none the less. Smart is smart whether or not it is accompanied by a drive to be wealthy or exert control over other people.
