Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right familyand others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I’m not going to say lucktalentand circumstances don’t come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligenceand that’s just the reality of how life is.

Howeverto succeed in lifeone first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.Andin addition to thatin order to get really good at somethingone needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain thingsit’ll require even more timetime that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don’t enjoy what you doit is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great successyou know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talentbut thinking that way does you no goodand there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you doif you want to become great at ityou need to work day in and day outalmost to the point of addictionand over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and workdon’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistenthard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may wantbut it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
