Most people are meant to be mediocre

That's cool and all. Really it is
But can your kids eat off that?
Gimme my paper. Paper first then the rest.

I don't have kids but if I did have kids if teach them that there are some things they can't control what if a hurricane came and swept us all to some island somewhere? What will keep my kids fed, some extra money in my pocket or my love for my kids my will to survive and my passion for doing things the right way?

When you actually set your mind to try and master something, you find that hard work and dedication take you waaaaaaaay farther than talent alone. It's sounds so cliche but hard work and dedication is truly what sets people apart(For some you can say lack of resources too, but the internet does a lot to alleviate that problem) You may not become the best of the best through hard work and sacrifice alone, but you can definitely become relatively way above average in something because most people can't (or won't) dedicate themselves to something.

Terms like "unlock your potential" bother me.

People do a lot of boost talking but STILL don't understand the elements to success.

As stated above, it's personally defined and different for all. It also usually involves some degree of networking, education, money, time, and yes perseverance and self belief. And honestly imo some JESUS too

Be careful with the Forex OP

Unlocking your potential means doing the most you honestly can for what you want to achieve(which is personally defined).
Whether it's being a better janitor, boss or a better sibling how hard you work is in direct correlation with how much you truly want to succeed. People who don't like working hard will set low personal goals. People who don't like working hard(but still do) will set high personal goals.

If you look at the most successful people their goals are very high and they almost never feel satisfied with how
Much they have worked .
Some shoot for 50 and get 45 and feel satisfied. Some shoot for 100 and get 80 and still want more.

People read what I say and think "it's not that simple." It actually is, but just because a concept is easy to understand doesn't mean
It's easy to put in practice and this is where many people get discouraged. Tightrope walking is pretty simple concept in the terms that youre just walking from one banister to the other and you need to maintain balance.

There is no path to success. Success is whatever a person defines it to be.

What most people should try and do is not judge themselves or base their self-worth around societal notions of what makes a person successful, or any of that empty language. Instead most people should figure out what they believe life to be about and their relation to it, then from there proceed. What you believe about life defines how you live your life.

^this is some real shyt

I like this. have few personal notes to add ... will try to put in words i'm not used to using ...

- Most people aren't mediocre. They may settle for less often, and stop trying sometimes, but at any point of our lives, and sometimes at any point of the day, we change our direction and perceptions.

- Skilled people aren't born with skills, but they can be learned and practiced, and who knows when you'll lean the particular skills to help your own personal journey.

- Success is a day to day process and it's not a destination.

I wasnt diciplined.

Im suffering now.

The opportunities are there.

You just have to plan your goals and stick to them no matter what.

This is right up the alley with those tumblr/instagram picture memes. Hard work or discipline alone will never get you to the level of a child born to say the Walton/Koch family. Most people are meant to be mediocre because in order to truly make it to the elite level in the current society, you need the right connections, even better a connection to someone already at the elite level (the rich will always be richer etc.). The trouble is the people who are at the elite level typically have no incentive to help those below them otherwise. Also, the definition of mediocre is dependent upon the individual and his/her scenario.

So tell me ,where will it get you as compared to working at a low level and displaying a low/average level of discipline? I didnt come in here saying everyone is gonna be a billionaire, but if you shoot to be one, worse case scenario youre sttill better off than if you shot to make 80k a year

 

[Audemar]

but if you shoot to be one, worse case scenario youre sttill better off than if you shot to make 80k a year

Worst case scenario is you could go broke trying to become a billionaire; the possibilities are endless. Also, what if 80k a year is mediocre to me? Should I be satisfied with the fact that such a salary is still better than average? Like I said, right up the alley with tumblr/Instagram memes.

You'll go broke saving your money and always striving to learn more, and move up.? You'll go broke shooting for the most opportunity? What im saying is your level of success is proportional to your level of goals

i love these pseudo-motivational ass infomercial ass rants

where people try to talk down on the majority like they themselves are apart of the 1%



people can't just say positive shyt without saying negative about others

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Most? Nearly all.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Here's the thing.... people saying success is a personal definition.... are basically saying they don't know how to elevate their current situation....... Out of those that agreed with that sentiment, none volunteered their own "personal" definition of success.....

If you are no value to anyone, you can easily consider yourself unsuccessful.....

Talking down? Someone not aspiring to be the most they can be is far more destructive to them than me pointing it out to them. If you are only doing 60 percent of what you can do even with circumstances taken into account then you are being mediocre. This isnt a fixed value thing it applies to everyone the same way. If a mentally disabled man puts 95% of his effort into learning how to do addition and i put in 65% into learning preCalc then i am being mediocre relative to my potential compared to him. What about this is incorrect?
