@kaylinart Well then, I guess you were lucky to have such a horrible experience in school ! ( I hope that made you smile !) I really love what you are saying because first and foremost it is the truth !
What you have said in a few minutes is exactly what was said in an entire book "Outliers". The conclusion of the book is what you stated (there are NO Outliers). It was explained that successful people were the ones that employed the "10,000 hour rule" (Do anything for 10,000 hours and you will be a professional at what you do)
People are successful because they are dedicated, consistent and persistent . Yes there are people that are very "lucky" to get a chance to be "Rich and Famous" but most that got in the spotlight don't remain there because they are not dedicated, consistent & persistent.
I really liked what you said about being dedicated to what you are doing instead of watching tv, playing games or whatever and truly making sacrifices to achieve your goals.
If I were a real life whale and could afford it I would "gift" you say $10k to allow you to concentrate on your goals. Because YOU DESERVE IT !!! Some might say "Well you got that money because you're lucky", which of course is total BS, lol because you have PAID your dues !!! Congratulations on your success !
