The overwhelming majority of people barely read, write poorly, struggle to understand simple instructions, and can’t be bothered to look for information that is widely available.

They stay uneducated, avoid effort, and fear anything that isn’t comfortable.

They victimize themselves, blame others for their own failures, and place the hope of their success on someone else.

They think they’re the center of the universe and get offended easily.

In an environment like this, it’s not hard to stop being mediocre.

If you’re willing to read four good books a year, replace bad music with silence, and show real interest and commitment at work, you’ll already be ahead of most people.

If you also watch films that aren’t on everyone’s radar, exercise regularly, and refuse to consume personal information about other people’s lives, you’ll be ahead of thousands.

It’s not about being perfect.

It’s about doing what most people refuse to do: learning, working, improving, and taking responsibility.
