You lose weight by eating less in the same way that you achieve success by working hard. One doesn't necessarily follow the other but unless you do it you can't possibly expect anything but more of the same.
- obsurveyor 12y agoNeither of these are true. Plenty of people work hard but don't achieve success, just the same way plenty of people eat less but don't lose weight. The body is a wonderfully efficient and adaptable machine and its own processes can sabotage your efforts to change it. There's also genetic predispositions that are a factor as well.
- Paul_S 12y agoI think you should read my second sentence in the original post again. Working hard does not guarantee success - we both agree on that one. I hope we can also agree that unless you do work hard you are unlikely to achieve success.
- CuriouslyC 12y agoI would rephrase his statement as: You lose weight by having a good plan and taking consistent action to follow it. You achieve success the same way. I honestly believe that the problem with people who work really hard and never achieve success is that they didn't formulate a good plan. You can be the fastest runner in the world but you're never going to win a race if you run in the wrong direction.
