I’m always reminded of professional athletes. To be in the top 1% you pretty much need the genetics (inherit it). But that doesn’t mean you won’t get healthy by working out.
You will probably never be a professional athlete, but if you want to be healthy you must be disciplined with what you eat and work out, and you will become healthy.
You will probably never be 1% rich, but you still must be disciplined with how you spend your money and your time, and you can become wealthy.
- stanferder 7y agoYou're underestimating luck. A better analogy would be a process that selects for the top 2% of athletes through competition, then enters them into a lottery.
- pmoriarty 7y agoI really struggle with discipline because of depression, inertia, and burnout. You're lucky if you've been raised in such a way that you are disciplined and can maintain it long-term without burning out. I wish I had a solution, but I'm feeling more and more hopeless about this as I get older.
