Quit Caring and Take Ownership
First off, unbelievable happiness comes from a self-belief that’s not controlled by people’s opinions of you. So many people don’t do what they love because of what others say or think. They retreat and settle in life. I don’t waste my time thinking what people think of me. It’s incredibly important what I myself think of me, but it is stunning(令人大吃一惊的)how much I’ll push back if someone tries to force his will into mine without knowing me. Not caring takes courage and determination. By 91, you’ll be stunned by how little you care.
Second, show your true self. I don’t make a good first impression with most people because I have a bad temper and an ego. What they don’t know is I equally have humility(谦卑). I’m not a snake oil salesman; I’m a good boy. I’m not as big as I could be — in terms of followers, book sales, impact on the world — because of the way I come out of the gate with energy, confidence, courage and a love of competition. Yet I don’t change because showing my true self will always ensure my success.
Finally, the biggest obstacle to your success is a lack of optimism. So
many things can prevent your success. It’s hard being an entrepreneur(企业家). That’s why 99 percent of businesses fail. Everyone thinks it’s so easy, but every day is hard. You’ve just got to keep trying and never give up, no matter what. Start creating layers upon layers of skin to survive. If you don’t have the stomach to weather the storm, you won’t be successful. Everything I don’t achieve is my fault. That’s the way it should be — no excuses.
