Sup TFLF,
For my childhood I never was told what was the “right” thing to do. I was just thrown into fire and expected to swim to the surface.
It made pretty interesting results. I was never really taught “the script”, and what I was told I deflected because “it can’t be right”.
And so in my free time I was thinking about what the perfect, the ultimate man can be.
I didn’t know what books were until I was 17, and before that I’ve just collected information from random talks, hearing some news headlines. Although I’ve rarely ever seen truly successful people IRL, I’ve seen many of them through screen, sometimes from other conversations, and later from books.
Why am I saying this? Because I think I came pretty close to understanding what the ultimate, extraordinarily successful men are, and most importantly - how they operate.
There are a couple of statements from that realization, but one I hold close to my heart:
If you take Elon Musk from all his money, take his name, and strip him away from all his connections, in some 10 years he will again become the richest man in the world.
The corollary from that is that if we nullify Elon Musk he would still be Elon Musk. And, if he wants to, he would be widely successful, again.
So, in my theory, if you want to be ultrasuccessful - like you want to become the ultimate man in the world -
1. Observe, deduce, and learn how “the ultimate man” would think. What businesses would he choose? Doesn’t he only choose the businesses that can 10x change one industry?
2. Take massive, day-in day-out action in that direction. You wouldn’t know a lot of things, but by using act-assess-adjust you can learn pretty much anything.
I was working on these realizations for a long time, and I believe achieving something like Elon Musk achieved is possible. Become someone like Elon Musk is, act, and maybe you have a fair chance to achieve something that he achieved.
— This post was written after reading this. Something was right, but if you don’t have an excellent inner space, the probability of you reaching excellent results are very slim.
