Are
you an outlier?
What separates you from the average
person?
Doing what the average person does produce
average results. Average results keep getting less and less attractive. We were
all created to achieve more, to be above average. What separates the outliers
from the average person?
1.
Work ethic.
Am I willing to put in the 10,000 hours to master my craft?
2.
Opportunity.
Chose the right endeavor. Will mastery allow me to live my dreams?
3.
Not IQ, AQ.
Intellect is not a predictor of success, adversity is. Do I have the will to
persist in the face of adversity?
4.
Thick skin.
Do I have thick skin to withstand the negativity of critics and cynics?
5.
Soft heart.
Do I have the emotional strength to demonstrate love and care for people?
6.
Dragon slayer.
Do I have the courage to face and slay the dragons and demons that I will meet
during the journey?
7.
Love for the game. Do I love playing in victory or defeat?
Will you join my cause to fight
mediocrity in the world?
Pass
these nuggets on to others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others.
