Does being Eccentric have anything to do with Success ? :

[BlackDiBiase]

OP,
No.......eccentricity without wealth is called craziness.

but seriously all these zuckerbergs were shunned and called these things. so im looking at people if they ask for receipts im thinking their either a prostitute or bank manager. money is the only difference between what these guys did then and do now.

simple samurai ways, but you are right.

+ theres a quotable about options that is deep. meaning the more options you have the less beneficial it is for you.

edit here it is :

“More choices require time and energy and shift our focus away from other things that matter.

Eccentric people often think of things in non-conventional means, which is a quality that is for sure needed to create, change and succeed in the tech world IMO.

I would imagine not every field thrives off eccentric thinking tho.

henry ford was an eccentric he was in the automobile industry, same with the wright brothers.

even the best actors are eccentric, i see your point though like in terms of bureaucracy or certain leaders you cant be too eccentric.

I think their level of intelligence and thought process makes their "habits" seem weird, or off to normal thinking folks.

they are rich in spite of being weird not because of it*

There is actually different levels to eccentricity just like different levels of intelligence.
These people while privileged have a good mix of both.

i disagree they are in the 5% that alone shows they are not normal which is the term for being weird.

im assuming you are living well, thats a success.

but i feel you i can be seen as an eccentric perhaps too but its not paying dividends

these eccentric OGs have some interesting ways. im going to try the cold shower/freezing experience boost of benjamin franklin.

Kobe was eccentric, Bron is too.

they are exceptional in terms of success

how would all that weird extracurricular shyte matter¿

there are even more broke weirdos with the same or even more odd eccentricities

so it ain't that ha

ok i can see your point.

but some of these broke weirdos are just broke weirdos but do they still possess the oddabilities like these eccentric billionaires and successful people.

i think so, they are not in the rat race or trying to keep up with the jones's.

zuckerbergers traits are most of the coli, elon musk purposely starved himself to make sure he could do it if needed in failed ventures, etc.

all that extra curricular maintains in success, its how they stay in success mode because its ingrained in them their own ways and views. rarely looking for co-signs they believe in their vision that much.

No black people shown in the OP.

Those people shown are successful because they're shytty people with no morals

most black successful people have their eccentricities take jordan or the examples given kobe and lebron. i dont think kanye is talented but his eccentric and successful.

there are very few black billionaires period, the pictures were of billionaire oddballs.

 

[duckbutta]

It's weird to me how people always want to pick some "successful" person brain or point out some thing they did and say "this is what made them successful"

when in fact it was mostly a random serious of events

 

[old pig]

yes cuz broke muthafukkas just flat out get called “weird” or “crazy”

 

[invalid]

At first thought, I would say yes. But I also think eccentricities develop as a result of the wealth and power.

Also, I hate when articles use Mark Zuckerberg and others as examples of “dropouts”. Mark went to Exeter, arguably the most prestigious boarding school in the country, and Harvard. By the time he dropped out he had more education than 99.9% of the country.

i think mark is just a genuine oddball. his augustus octavia fan boy. now he only eats meat he kills himself these are just some small things but i agree howard hughes is a greater example. you cant be in this lifes rat race and still make it to the top, these eccentric skilled people dont participate in the rat race. they just dead on their own paths, i respect it.
