Weekly Quote

In America we love winners. We idolize the best actors, musicians and athletes. Our media shows us almost everything about our heroes lives; their homes, love lives and foibles. What we aren't shown is how hard these people work to become leaders in their chosen field. Sure, sometimes people get lucky and become an overnight sensation, but these people usually come and go quickly. The people who stay at the top of their field have done their homework. This is nothing new, here is a quote from the painter of the Sistine Chapel that proves this point:

"If people know how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful after all" Michelangelo

For a modern scientific take on this subject I highly recommend Geof Colvin's book Talent Is Overrated.

Keep Smiling, Keep Selling!
