becoming a leader . .

Being great . . being a leader . . involves more than copying and pasting what others before you have discovered. .

Greatness . . point of difference . . in ANY field . . involves researching & forming your OWN opinions . . ideas . . concepts . . patterns . . points to make others question what’s right and what’s wrong 10 . . 20 . . 30 years from now . .

You have to be perceptive . .

You have to be the underdog for a while . .

Why? Because while others are forming their own opinions based on fluff coming out of some guys behind . . you’ve got your head in a pile of books . .

You’re willing to dedicate YEARS to reading . . re-reading . . re-reading . . researching . . cross-checking . . cross-referencing . . behind the scenes . . when others are asleep . . when others are yet to wake . . when others are out getting pissed . .

Your mind is like a computer . . and like a computer . . it’s only as effective as the software it’s running on . .

You have to know your shit inside out . . back to front . .

You have to acknowledge that there are others that will always know more than you do . . know something that you don’t know . .

You have to SHUTUP and listen . .

You have to be OPEN to the fact that there may be more than one solution . .

You have to NEVER lose focus . .

Knowledge takes time . .

Understanding takes even MORE time . .

Patience . .

Persistance . .

Old theories . . new theories . . all have their part in the world . . if you ALLOW them to . . all offer good value if you prove them to . .

Discover your thoughts . .

Recognise the VALUE of your thoughts . .

However long it takes . .

Whatever it takes . .

Leave your freakin’ EGO at the door . .

THEN you might have a chance at becoming great . . becoming a leader . .
