Is success only reserved for the rich and geniuses? If success has alluded you, is there any hope?
The average man who wins what we call success is not a genius. He is a man who has merely the ordinary qualities… who has developed those ordinary qualities to a more than ordinary degree.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is true some people are naturally gifted and can do things the rest of us only dream of. But there are naturally gifted people that will remain in obscurity. All of us have heard the story of a gifted athlete that couldn’t control himself and lost the contract. Each hometown has the story of their talented hero that could never get their act together.
Don’t worry about some who have talents you can only dream of. Develop what you have and use it to your fullest.
- Be a lifelong learner
- Learn something new every day
- Develop goals and work towards them
- This allows you to define what success looks like to you
- Do something uncomfortable that makes you grow
Keep plugging away. If success has alluded you until now, you have today to develop your ordinary qualities.
