Thanks about the post. I like that you took notice of that “luck” mention, because it is pretty tough to talk about luck like it is some important factor. Probability is of its own accord, and it isn’t something to attribute any value to. Whenever I see “luck”, I see that right before it, in the vast majority of cases, there was effort put out by the person involved that put them in a position for probabilities to already be in their favor by a large margin.

I just read the rest of your comment and we are on the same page.

Also, once in a while, people are testing us, in order to see if we have things we stand for.

This is true about forgetting them, or at least not letting them be a barricade in your way. They will adjust at their own pace.

Also, you’re indirectly helping them by representing an example of managing your own time.

Actually, I was referring to Bonaparte there, but Mr. Hill could also fit in, although not as many folks know of him. He sure was prolific, though.

Good point to bring up there.

That makes me want to bring up an unrelated point I have sort of brought up before. As prolific as Napoleon Hill was, there are certainly people out there that have read everything he has published. We have to remember that there is no limit to how prolific we can be, and someone somewhere will always appreciate it.

Thanks about the article. That quote sure does resonate, when thought about. I have done many things that are similar to dusting the underside of a bookshelf, and I might as well have been pushing against a wall. I can have big productivity plans for pushing against a wall, and plan my time for using most of it to push against a wall, but I won’t get anything out of all that effort.

Cool deal about reminding of the 80/20 item for what fits you.

That is a true point Jim Rohn mentioned. We can’t output when we are inputting, and TV is also one of the low levels of input. Our brains show very little activity when watching TV, to the point where it seems like we’re almost sleeping.

That true cost of a TV is only for the thoughtful to calculate.

Great article! I love this quote, “No one cares if you clean the dust on the underside of a bookshelf”.”

Suddenly I was reminded about my working habits and it is time for me to stick to the 80/20 principle and start focusing on things that are important. Thanks for the great reminder Armen.

Cheers,
Vincent
