Episode - 27
Welcome to another episode of Curiosity Friday.
Here are some of the best Ideas, quotes, Tweets, and a Question for you to consider this week.
Ideas
Here are the 3 best Ideas from me.
I. The common differentiating factor between an Amateur and a great person is that an amateur person would always react to good and bad outcomes, whereas a great person, remains the same in every kind of situation.
An Amateur (or average performer) thinks like this -
Good Outcomes - I am the best in the world.
Bad Outcomes - I am so unlucky. I cannot do it.
A Great person (or high performer) thinks like this.
Good Outcomes - How can I make it better?
Bad Outcomes - What were my mistakes and how can I improve them?
II.
Good Things don’t come to those who wait.
Good things come to those who are capable of taking action in the short term and remain consistent over the long term.
Waiting for things to come at you, without doing anything, will only create the opposite results.
III.
Life is chaotic and if you learn how to face these challenges in life, then you can be invincible.
Through every difficult and extreme situation of your life. have a wide smile on your face. The person who continues to stay positive and smiles a lot, even during the chaos and difficult situations in life, wins the game.
Quotes
Here are some of the best quotes from others.
I.
"Failure comes from the failure to imagine failure." - Josh Wolfe
Do you know that the highly-successful people share a surprising fear that all of their success is suddenly going to disappear?
The best have developed a seemingly uncanny ability to imagine failure.
It creates two dynamics:
Positive—drive for continued growth
Negative—enough is never enough
So having a fear of failure is a very good thing.
II.
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one most adaptable to change.” ~ Charles Darwin
The only constant is chaos and change. If you can be responsive and adaptive to it, you'll win.
