Never Too late to be great
Tom Butler Bowdon
Most people over estimate what
they can achieve in a year and
under estimate what they can
achieve in a decade.
Life happens, as John Lennon puts
it, when you are making other
plans.
What is quick and tales less work
is always alluring, but the desire
for instant results makes us less
open to the paths that will lead to
lasting, major achievement.
The laws of probability suggest we
are all entitled to a few lucky
breaks, but the universe rarely
offers short cuts to anything.
Genuine success is the result of
‘rich time', or deep thought given
to a work or a problem.
What differentiates the well off
from the not so well off in society
is their ‘appreciation of time'. This
is true over generations.
The well off in society is not about
material wealth, not about
education or social status but a set
of values and beliefs relating to
time.
That’s why lower level workers in
the initial days were paid by the
hour and managers by the month.
This payment made people think
of life in that way too.
Things you might want to ask
yourself at the end of your life :
Did I live, did I love, did I matter?
Early success is a double edged
sword, it makes you a someone
but also increases the weight of
expectations.
Thinking about the future makes
you wildly successful for the
present.
Great companies do not get lost in
the day to day, they become great
by looking ahead all the time.
People with a long term view feel
more confident because they are
innately confident about
controlling their destiny.
Long term companies value deep
domain expertise.
Any organization that goes
through too many changes or
personnel changes is by nature
unstable.
Fashions come and go, but quality
and originality are always
recognized.
Self reflection may not be
compatible with the go getting
nature of fast success, but it is
compatible with real, slow cooked
success.
It is natural to seek shortcuts and
dream of overnight success but
these are like basing a strategy for
wealth creation on buying lottery
tickets.
Stephen king said “ talent is
cheaper than table salt, what
separates the talented individual
from the successful one is hard
work”
What you need to do is to study
what leaders did before they
became famous not what they di
after they became famous.
Age itself in a career matters little
, what matters is readiness and
enthusiasm.
Motivational speakers tell us to
persevere, but success involves
perseverance combined with
experimentation, if something
doesn’t work, try something else.
Agility of mind means you will find
a way forward.
If it captures your mind, it will
captivate others.
To win big, you need to think
small. Do a small thing right and
growth will automatically take
care of itself.
