Hi Igor,

Thanks for your comment.

Hi Srinivas Rao,

Social programming is one of the thing that really stop us from achieving the best we can achieve. We tend to have the herd mentality and we will follow what others are doing. Which means that we will follow what others are doing even if what we are doing is not the best for us. We definitely need to have the courage and also know when to walk against the crowd to do things that are the best for us.

Hi Paul,

I agree with what you had said. Sometimes doing something easy can help us to take a break but doing easy tasks as an excuse to avoid something difficult is a sure fire way to mediocrity.

Hi used tires,

Only a few people are capable of climbing to the top and that is why there will be lesser competition when you are at the top. I love the quote you had mentioned,. Talent will not carry us any further if we do not put in any work.

Hi Celes,

Thanks for pointing that out. I had corrected it already.

Cheers,
Vincent

Hey Vincent, I like this post. It helps to shake people out of their current comfort modes and trigger them to strive for more, including me too. By the way, I think there might be a typo in the #4 tip. It says Doing something easy, but I believe you mean Doing something hard ?

There is this quote that I am in love with “ hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”. I think its soo true. I agree with you that many people will simply settle. They say they are ok with their life, with their accomplishments… they say that they don’t need anything more. Id say most of the people you meet out there will fall into that category. Its actually good news for you. The higher and higher you climb up the less competition. People aren’t often wiling to keep on running those extra miles. What separates you from the rest is your willingness to keep on going

Thanks for the post – some good points here.

Point #4 is an interesting one – sometimes doing something easy can be good to have a break from the hard stuff whilst keeping momentum going, whilst sometimes is can be used as a form of procrastination and needs to be avoided.

Along the same lines of avoiding mediocrity, I stumbled across the following post which compares the “you can achieve anything” mantra with “stick with your strengths” – quite an interesting read (not an affiliate link, btw, I just thought it was an interesting and relevant article to share): http://generallythinking.com/blog/index.php/2009/05/you-can-do-anything-you-set-your-mind-to-vs-stick-to-your-strengths/
