Not hard at all. Luck plays a role is everything. Anyone born over 5’11" was lucky, as no one earns or deserves his height. Studies have shown that CEOs tend to be taller than average. People tend to view taller people as better leaders, more competent, etc.
You seemed to be saying luck is everything. I disagree. Luck matters, but so does dilligence and intelligence.
Ive stumbled unto this website and found the keys to become strong via structured programs and knowledge from over seas.
However other parts of my life are still lacking therefore I’m asking for help from people on here.
I want to be successfull! I have a struggling business and I havent finished school yet at the ripe old age of 27.
I feel like i’m in a video game were I can’t get to the next leval!!!
I followed a program for weights and became successful(in the weight room).
So are there any programs for “life” that one can follow to become a success in that area as well? Websites, books you name it…
Regards,
The single most important thing almost anyone can do is this: Get rid of the TV. If you watch ZERO TV, you will be surprised at how quickly success follows. (Just don’t use your computer as a form of television!)
Very few people are willing to dispose of their televisions, though. Which is why so few people are actually successful. Most just barely get by through life.
Dump the TV and don’t surf the web. I’ll bet in 6 months you will be well on your way to being successful.[/quote]
Thats correct. There is a correlation between how much TV a person watches and how successful they become in general.

If the “most intelligent” are so intelligent, why haven’t they figured out a way to take over the world? Perhaps because they are not nearly as intelligent as they think!

I’d say Bill Gates is pretty fucking intelligent and I’d also say he runs the world (though not in the way that you are possibly thinking). I remember reading about him offering the Navy Seals a substantial amount of money to crack the coding relating to the security in his house. They declined (of course).

Was that from the National Enquirer or Weekly World News?
identify a goal for who you want to be and where you want to be in life. break your goal down to necessary smaller achievements that would need to happen in order for you to reach your main goal. start on the small goals and finish them.

Agreed.
Intelligence has little to do with becoming a CEO.
CEO’s are less scrupulous, more cutthroat, and better connected than their rivals.
And smarter.[/quote]
Bull shit. Every fucking upper level CEO douche I have come across rely on people like me to carry them through meetings. They just sit back and spout off commands, like that really requires intelligence. Waiter; “get me a drink!”
Not to mention the time when we are not in meetings and the brilliant CEO cannot figure out how to make Word his email editor, despite hours of trying to figure it out. It is not fucking rocket science man, it is not even changing spark plugs in a 1980’s Honda.
