People will go to any length to avoid making/taking decisions… decisions entail responsibilities… and making/taking decisions can hurt… And that is the main reason people are so fearful of taking action… but if you don’t take action… you don’t get anywhere…
So, if you want to succeed… you must become an alpha (a leader) take responsibilities… you will have the lumps… but… you will also have the glory…
I have been teaching that for a decade... and I have seen the results... they never deceived me...
Alpha rocks man…

So what you are saying is that most people are failures? Seems like that is the logical conclusion since there would be way more alledged alphas than the rest.
Could you perhaps indicate some examples of those who fit your definition of an alpha?
To answer your question of how I define an alpha I am not so sure I can give you a definitive one. I judge and react based on an individual basis and I really do not have a defined guideline in that regard. In the animal world I viewed it as being king of the jungle I guess with no regard to those lower in the food change. Selfish and domineering would be a couple traits.
