Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
-Arnauld, Angelique-
That's one very powerfully true quote.
With everything we do in life, we are given a choice. What choice is that, you ask? The choice to either do something averagely, or to do something with all you've got.
Why do people settle for less? Don't just accept your position that has been given to you. You need to understand that you have the power within to create a success of anything you desire to.
That's it. This topic isn't that technical. It's a very simple approach to things. Just give it your all. Do not settle for less than the best. If you truly deserve something, you can and will obtain it!
'Turn everything you touch into gold'.
I mean come on.. The phrase says it all!
I see it the same as flipping property, as it is 100% in relation to this concept. Taking something that's not so good, and creating something out of that of greater value.
What about Warren Buffet.. He says he's a 'value investor'. Why? Because he has the skill and the drive to take any business that is currently in the dumps, all the way to making far more than ever before. Every business he touches turns to gold.
Please, don't mistake this concept for some higher-power, or some magic trick that only certain people have.
That is not at all the point of this. We all have the potential. It is 100% in your head. Like I said previously, it's a choice.
Just the mentality that you can, and will make a success with the things you are doing.
Look, this isn't going to be a ranting article of how I explain why things aren't working out for you.. Because for those of you who know my writing style, you will know I am blunt in my approach. I don't feel sorry for those who don't put in the effort.
I don't want to act like some wannabe guru or anything, but I do have my own philosophies I run by. In my opinion, it's all a numbers game. You simply need to know the rules, and then play the game.
I won't be getting into that right now, but if I get enough requests, I will consider making a future post for you guys on my thoughts on that topic, and what I think would be the best approach for 'coming in hot' on a platform like this.
With relation to this current topic, and Steemit, you just need to do it.
Turn your account into a masterpiece. You need to approach every angle, and become a professional. By repeating this process enough, you will certainly start to see progress. Your account should be your portfolio. Like a CV for a job application. You need to take the utmost pride in it.
Become an all-round, diversified master in your craft. If you can do this, I can guarantee a 90% chance of you doing better.
This was a bit longer of a post than usual, I know. I hope you guys got the message. In short, you can prosper in anything you set your mind to, as long as you decide to dedicate yourself turning your passions and efforts into pure, solid, shiny gold!
