superior thinker: Ability to accurately predict the consequences
of doing or not doing a task


After 50 years of research by Dr. Edward Banfield of Harvard
University he concluded that the long-time perspective is the
most important and accurate way to predict who in the US is
moving up socially and economically.


He is saying that long-time perspective is more
important than


-  Family background


-  Education


-  Race


-  Intelligence


-  Connections


Successful people are willing to make
sacrifices, go without certain things, so that they can
enjoy far greater rewards in the long term. This is not easy to
do, especially living in an instant gratification society, but
everyone who’s made sacrifices for a greater good can appreciate
this.


Denis Waitley, a motivational speaker, says, “Losers try to
escape from their fears and drudgery with activities that are
tension- relieving. Winners are motivated by their desires toward
activities that are goal-achieving.”


FOCUS on activities with large potential and
positive consequences, make them top priority and work on them
until done


No matter what we do, time is going to pass anyway. It is up to
us to decide how to use it and how we use it will determine where
we end up at the end of the weeks, months and years that pass.


The law of Forced Efficiency says that “There is never enough
time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the
most important thing.”
