Everyone Can Win, But Who Wants To Put In The Effort

Life takes very little skill really, but lots of effort, when you win. 

Some of the most skilled people are genuinely less than their potential because they sweat too much of the small details. 

The big picture or puzzle put together is greater than the sum of its parts alone. Another thing, patient effort is greater than quick "getting it done now", always. If it was not greater than quick getting it done now, then nothing would take effort, and winning would not be a bigger accomplishment to people than losing.

Some of the most skilled and genius people are losers because of intemperance and impatience with situations that would make them winners or the difference between what made Jay Gould envied and hated although he was successful, and Abraham Lincoln admired although he was a failure at everything he did before he was President of the United States. 

The fact is, to become a winner takes not so much skill, but patience, temperance, and an infinite capacity for realistic understanding of what it takes. 

Sure, that sounds simple, but the real skill of success consists of this. For without it, it does not matter how much "book and school knowledge" you have, you will not succeed. That subtle difference in viewpoint is what made Abraham Lincoln revered, and Jay Gould hated, although they had in many senses opposite lives. 

Think about that and think about that deeply, to be successful in all things, you must be successfully patient, understanding, full of temperance and tolerant from the very crux of the matter or settle for genuine failure.

Also, success is more "practice runs", visualizing success, and hard work leading to success ultimately than successful attempts when a successful person thinks about it all realistically. 

To a failure, success is one shot without practice attempts and trial runs, it is unrealistic expectations that do not work. In fact, I just showed why a failure is a failure and a success is a success, because what makes a success is temporary "failure" of the sort I write about in the first sentence of this paragraph, rather than the "lucky break" first time "success" I write about in the second sentence of this paragraph.

The real nature of success is not the instant win, it is the "built up win". There is nothing more important than creating through effort, work and making the success repeatable rather than depending on luck at the first try.
