- They had the win-win approach, which ensured they could do their "trick" longer than just a hype would warrant.
- They had discipline to stuck with what they wanted.
- They had the clarity to see what worked and learn from their mistakes.
- They observed the masses and did the opposite, knowing that if you want to have something different, you have to do something different.
You can make this as complicated as you want. And in today's world, you'll find plenty of places for that. But you can also make it as simple as you want. And that's what Steve's post did for me. He made it simple. He said, pick your passion, try to see how you can add value that society will enjoy, and create, deliver or both.
That's it. Stop talking, think for a while, and then, the most important part, go do it. Don't sit around talking and thinking about it endlessy. Do it.
If you want to be succesfull: pick a subject, dive in, and work hard, and be smart about all of it.
