The winner's reflex

The great thing about success is that it is quite visible. Successful people (in art, business, politics, etc.) usually gain prominence in society and attract media reporters or publishers, who interview them and sometimes ask them bluntly: "So how did you do it?!"

Usually, successful people would generously share their "secrets." Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Brian Tracy, Stephen Covey, Anthony Robbins, etc. all shared their knowledge. So how come so few people succeed in life?

That's because success principles are so... simple. Because they are so simple, it doesn't take much time to teach them. What DOES take an enormous amount of time is practicing those success principles.

We all want perfection, but we would rather order it by credit card from a TV infomercial than actually doing the hard work ourselves.

From my own experience, I've found that success is very simple: you have to figure out what is the most important thing you can do every day, and find a creative way to make sure you DO IT.
