An Average Person





What does it take to succeed on a big scale?


A tremendous god-given talent? Inherited wealth? A decade of postgraduate education? Connections with the top people in your field?


Fortunately for most of us, what it takes is something very simple and accessible: clear, written goals.


A study of Harvard graduates found that after 20 years, the three percent of them who had written goals achieved more financially than the other 97% combined!


"An average person with average talent, ambition and education, can oustrip the most brilliant genius in our society, if that person has clear, focused goals."

  1. Success...simple words but rather a very subjective issue. To some average peoples, success is measured by personal wealths, short terms achievements, happiness gained in social & family matters etc. For me, to be an average person is not an excuse or exception to achieve greater heights or GOALS in our life. As long as we have a clear vision & targets, systematic plannings & keep FOCUSing...nothin' is IMPOSSIBLE!
