The Secret to Success

“It’s lonely at the top. Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for ‘realistic’ goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming… The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits. There is just less competition for bigger goals". Tim Ferris from the Tim Ferris blog

DISCOVER YOUR PASSION

The best way to get yourself to the job is in fact finding a passion finding something that you are good and and you feel that you would excel as you are going to spend a large part of your life doing it. Then aim high because aiming high is not as hard as what everyone seems to think. It is a question of time and dedication but you will get there and you will enjoy the journey once you are there. Too many people prefer mediocrity and do not realise that the path of mediocrity at the end of the day is the path with the fiercest competition. Take at look at just how many people turn out to run a marathon, how many people go to gyms and spend endless hours doing endless exercises that have no real reward then compare them to the amount of people that turn out to a powerlifting meet or decide to set a target of running several marathons over a period of several weeks. The difference is enormous. Do you want to become a world champion swimmer, become a very successful businessman all these things are possible so go for it and be incredible.

As Timothy Ferriss says "unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason. Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you will throw in the towel.” So people there you have it just get yourselves out there in the world and aim high and you will be rewarded.
