“Fun fact: successful people usually get to the future before the future actually happens!” - Futurist Jim Carroll If you hang out with successful people, you'll notice that they share share several common attributes: an ongoing willingness to learn about the things they don't know an attitude that involves continual, relentless exploration based on hands-on experience a relentless curisoity as to what makes things 'tick' a never-ending desire to reinvent their world for what they perceive will happen next a steadfast refusal to accept the status quo a vast impatience with the ways that things are an attitude that is driven by the question 'why not?' a dismissive approach to those who would dare suggest that their idea is a dumb idea a dogged pursuit of their beliefs a history of mistakes which are simply the bedrock for the next step of the journey a mindset that if it is not yet invented, it might as well be! a willingness to ask questions and then, more questions a refusal to accept that things will stay the way they are a relentless effort to shape things to the way they could be an intense frustration with those who are stuck in a rut a burning knowledge that to be stuck in such a rut is a path of doom an ability to ignore those who might say 'it can't be done' a determination to prove that it can be done an unbending belief in the direction of their efforts a never-ending investment in building up the time investment with those efforts a motivating sense of purpose that comes from a series of small wins rather than huge home runs I could go on.
