Someone was expressing their jealousy at a success of mine. They tried to tell me I was just lucky.
This comic explains the process much better than the verbal barrage of profanity that they got.
To summarize: 20 years ago I decided I wanted something. Every action I have taken in the last 20 years has been calculated to bring me closer to that objective.
Every decision, every action, no exception, all the time, for 20 years
That is what it takes.
I have only been 60% committed. If I had been 100% committed I probably would have achieved more.
Each variable has an effect on success.
Hadfield wants to be an astronaut :
- 100% dedication
- 100% interest
- 100% talent
== 100% chance of success
Jeff wants to be an astronaut:
- 2% dedication
- 25% interest
- 1% talent
== 0.02*0.25*0.01 = 0.005% chance of success
Jeff wants to be the thing he ended up being successful at:
- 60% dedication
- 90% interest
- 90% talent
== 0.6*0.9*0.9 = 48.6% chance of success
Mr. Jealous wants to have what I've got:
- 0% dedication
- 100% interest
- 100% talent
== 0*1*1 = 0% chance of success
Just smile at them.. It will kill them...!!!
