I thought about this entry today around 3:45am as I was drinking my coffee and reading the new york times online.
We are hammered every single day by companies selling us short cuts….
“lose weight without dieting…”
“get in shape without exercising…”
“learn french the fast and easy way…”
“lose weight while you sleep..”
The above are verbadim quotes taken from advertisements.
… is life meant to be easy?
Is Tiger Woods the greatest golfer of all time because he found some short cut we do not know about?
Michael Jordon…. was it just talent that made him exceptional?
I think it is fair to say, at least for people that read my blog –we all want to be successful in what we do. We all want to have a great fulfilling career. We all want to make a lot of money. We want to be happy.
Most of us want to get to the top of whatever it is that we are climbing….
…..so many people spend their lives looking for that short cut to success …
but fortunately life is not easy…..
if it was easy, success would not mean as much.
if it was easy….

The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it

you are so right. genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. nothing worth having in life is just going to fall into your laps. there is no short cut to success.
