Have you ever wondered why some people are just naturally successful? Why success just seems to fall on them with everything they do? You know.. The guy with
green thumb! And, everything he touches turns to gold.Picture Perfect Luck!
Well, there's no such thing. Luck or if you prefer "happenstance", does have a way of falling on us from time to time. But, I don't think anyone is trying to live a life of daily luck. If they are, they have some tall explaining to do. Cause, it ain't working!
You see, it takes a lot less effort to succeed than to fail. Let me explain! From time we begin going to school at six years old, we are bombarded with knowledge. Everything they can possibly throw at us is crammed in our heads for sake of learning. To make us smart!
And, that's all a good thing. The downside to it is this; we carry that attitude and habit with us all through our life. We try to learn a little about everything so we can be informed. Have you ever heard a radio talk show host that said something you knew was not true?
For A Feather In His Cap!
There this guy is on radio talking about a subject you are an expert in and you know guy is full of bananas. He is talking to whole city, giving them erroneous advice, maybe doing some people harm, and you think, how can this bozo say that?
Here is situation. He's trying to learn a little about a lot. Every time we try to learn a little about a lot, we are depending on luck to bail us out.
And that's what our radio talk show host is doing. He tries to learn something about everything so he will appear informed, and make his listening audience happy, and never can become an expert in anything.
I only make this analogy because I hear it happen all time. I'm certainly not picking on Radio talk show hosts. I only make illustrations in my articles to strike your thinking, not to criticize anyone.
Make No Bones About It!
It takes less time to succeed than to fail when you concentrate your thoughts, efforts and motivation on becoming an expert in a desired project. When you are learning a lot about a little in this fashion, you quickly become an expert and success is quickly to follow.
When you choose to follow other path, and learn a little about a lot, you slow process to success in anything you're trying to learn. Seems obvious, because you're learning too many different things.
Success is guaranteed if you choose lot about a little approach. But, you could seriously hinder your success in anything if you fail to recognize these universal principles.
