“Conviction is possible only in a world more primitive than ours can be perceived to be.

“It's lonely at the top. Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for "realistic" goals, paradoxically making them the most time-consuming and energy consuming. It is easier to raise $10,000,000 than it is $1,000,000. It is easier to pick up the one perfect 10 in the bar than the five 8s.” PeopleWorldEnergyGoalPerfectLevelsFiveAchieveEasierPicksPercentLonelyAimRaisesCompetitionConvincedNineBarsGreat ThingsRealisticIncapableMediocreNinetyConsumingNinety NineTime ConsumingRealistic GoalsLonely At The Top Author:Tim Ferriss
