What Girls & Guys Said
Opinion
1Opinion
Basically what I got from this is everything that's against who I am, but who many people are attracted to. There are some things in here I agree with and some I don't.
I'll list the ones I relate to the most and the ones I don't relate to the most. Here are the ones I relate to the most:
Richard Branson: Mostly for delegate, keeping it simple, and acknowledging that people will be skeptical.
Kobe Bryant: For don't be afraid of confrontation, thrive on being an outsider, and compete with yourself.
*Floyd Mayweather: I relate to him the most. Mostly because he said you can never overlook anyone. It's true. You can learn from anybody. That's why I don't just listen to older people. Everybody wants to get "wisdom" from the old guy. A child can teach you things as well. I don't overlook children. I try to learn from everybody. Appreciate people who support you. I definitely try to do that. It's a great feeling knowing people care enough to give you support. Always have a back up plan. I've learned that from the very beginning. It's important, because sometimes things aren't going to go your way.
Jackie Chan: Be yourself. Do it your way. Keep your promises.
Here are the ones who I didn't relate to that much:
Tim Ferriss: Yeah being able to sell is good, but it's not something I'm the best at. I agree, but I can't really relate to it. Marketing is a talent. Ideas are worth nothing. Actually ideas are very important. Everything starts with an idea. How can you be successful if you don't have an idea? A plan? Pick the right things to do. What are the right things to do? It's easier said than done.
Tony Robbins: Raise your standards. I don't know what he meant totally, but I feel like that's getting close to douchey proportions. Looking for leverage probably does help to be successful, but it's not something I'd want to stand behind.
Arnold: Ignore the little man? What's that mean? If he means figuratively then that's actually a bad business plan. The little man makes up most of the market. Isn't that the middle to poor class? Those are the people you DON'T ignore. Don't be realistic. I think you should have some sense of realism in your way of thinking.
*Sylvester Stallone: Didn't relate to him the most. No means yes. No no means no. You only learn through failure. No you can learn from success. Keep talking? I'm not much of a talker so maybe that's why I don't relate as much.
This is a great take.
Alright great to see you got some value out of this. I will explain the ones you don't understand. Tim Ferriss : Be able to sell. Selling is a skill that can be tuaght... Like any talent enough practice can get you to the same level. Its making something more appealing to the eye. Selling is not only product but oneself. When you are in an interview for a job... What are you selling? Yourself! When you are presenting an idea. You are selling it. So it is a skill that is well worth learning. There are plenty of books on it so don't worry. Ideas are worth nothing. What he means by this is its one thing to have an idea but you have to act on it otherwise its worth virtually nothing. Its that could have been a millionaire thing people say. But I understand what you mean. Pick the right things to do.. eg Don't waste time watching tv. prioritize is basically what that means.
Tony Robbins: Raise your standards. All of us have standards. A standard is something that is met consistently.. You eating standards. You meet them right? Want a better body? Raise your eating standards. Your reading standards. You meet them? Want to be smarter? Raise your reading standards. Your exercise standards. You meet them whatever they are. Want to be more fit or better looking? Raise your exercise standards.
Leverage. Doing something massive with small effort. So you are bad at sales as you said. Now you hire someone who loves selling. They are good at it. Now you pay them to sell your product. Leverage. You don't have to go through the struggles of trying and hoping. You can now focus on something else you are good at. Increasing productivity and joy.
Arnold: Ignore the little man? - He means ignore the nay sayers. The people who are small minded. And are small thinkers. (Little) You come to them with an idea and they say give up, it will never work or your dreaming !
Don't be realistic - People told him that a German actor that is a body builder is unrealistic. People will tell you its not realistic you will never achieve that. Thats what he means.
Sylvester Stallone No means yes. You are on the right track you learn through failure yep. But what he means is just because you failed. Aka being told no does not mean you can succeed. He said in interviews that when people tell him no its not possible. Or no you can't do it. No its not realistic. He loved it.. It gave him strength and motivation to prove them wrong and turn the no into a yes. You only learn through failure - Well yea you learn through success but you REALLY learn when you fail. The failure will really imprint it. Success is not that great with learning. You can still but it is so small.
Don't give up, keep talking - When he was in the office of a producer and dircetor he was selling himself to get a acting job. He wasn't right for the acting part. So they said you know sorry blah blah. And as he was walking out he said oh I am working on this piece/story about a boxer ( Rocky) And yea basically if he gave up and walked/ stopped talking he wouldn't be where he is now.
Yeah I know what Tim Ferris meant, but it's not something I like doing is my point. It attacks my inner being. Okay that's what I thought he might have meant as far as ideas are concerned. It was a bit vague to just say they mean nothing. I understand. Yeah but like I said it's easier said than done to pick the right things. Sometimes it can be a gamble and lines can be blurred. Least I think so. Watching TV can help but yeah it can hurt too.
I can kinda see what Tony Robbins is saying, but the problem with doing that is that if you raise all your standards to such a high degree then when you fail will you let yourself get down? I mean basically it's like if your mission is to climb a mountain and you slip and fall will you let yourself get down on it? What I really mean is that you're going to lose humbleness when you do that. I have standards of what I want to look like, but so long I personally I feel it depends on what it is as to if the standard should be high or not.
Its all in how you look at it. If you choose to lose humbleness then you lose humbleness. If you choose to never lose that humble being you have inside of you. Always remember your roots. Then you won't. And selling is merely connecting with people. The best salesman is your friend. They can can sell you almost anything. True friends you trust of course. These rules make more sense if you watch the videos with them.
I guess that makes sense. Things you lack in (because nobody is perfect) you can bring other people in to help you succeed. Yeah, but it really speaks towards morality when it comes to leverage. Did you earn that or was it given to you because of what you had on someone? Now if we are talking about skills you have that give you an advantage then okay I understand that.
Ohhhhhh. Arnold was saying people who talk trash about you are meaningless. Some people use them for motivation. Others just ignore them. I don't like his choice of words, but I get it now.
Yeah I understand his story. I know his accomplishments. He has a motivational story. It's just again back to what I was saying with high standards. It makes the fall more painful, but I guess they're right. If you want to be successful you can't worry about falling. Dreaming big.
Well I can understand what Sylvester is saying there. I mean when people tell me I can't do something the ego in me wants to prove them wrong.
But to say you can't learn from your success to me isn't wise words at all. I believe you can learn from anything and everything. Look, common folks say all the time "Money got to such and such's head." But I've heard celebs say that until you get money you don't understand. It's at least partially true. Until you are successful you'll never know what it's like to be successful and you'll never know if you can handle it or not besides what you believe. Once you are successful then in some cases you can try to learn to multiply that success or if you are successful but eventually fail then you have an idea of how to get back to success. You know what did work. I would say you learn more from failure, but only because that's what our minds pay attention to. When you fail you pay attention to it and actually TRY to learn from it. When you succeed your mind doesn't care to learn anything.
Yeah I've heard the story of how Rocky came about. Really inspiring story.
I'd like to say that again while these philosophies probably are some good advice to being successful some of it still attacks who I am as a person, and trading that in for success is something to contemplate.
Also, I'm not saying I don't like these celebs. I'm a fan of Sylvester and Arnold.
Yea Success leaves clues. Its a shame people don't pay attention to it. More for us then hey? haha
Okay. I'll check out the videos for this stuff later. Yeah that's true. I mean hey look at these people. Did they learn something from their success? They obviously did.
yea i agree with you man
