By a show of hands. How many of you believe you could replicate this image of Brad Pitt with just a pencil and piece of paper? Well, I'm going to show you how to do this. And in so doing, I'm going to give you the skill necessary to become a world-class artist. And it shouldn't take more than about 15 seconds.
But before I do that, how many of you believe you could replicate this image of a solid gray square? Every one of us. And if you can make one gray square, you can make two, three, nine ... Truth of the matter is, if you could made just one gray square, it'd be very difficult to argue that you couldn't make every gray square necessary to replicate the image in its entirety.
And there you have it. I've just given you the skills necessary to become a world-class artist.
What stands between us and achieving even our most ambitious dreams has far less to do with possessing some magical skill or talent, and far more to do with how we approach problems and make decisions to solve them. Because of the continuous and compounding nature of all those millions of decisions that we face on a regular basis, even a marginal improvement in our process can have a huge impact on our end results.
Let's take a closer look at how marginal adjustments have shaped the careers of individuals like Novak Djokovic and Steven.
Back in 2004, Novak Djokovic was ranked 680th in the world of tennis. It wasn't until he made marginal improvements in his decision-making process that he climbed the ranks to become one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. By focusing on improving his decision success rate, Djokovic transformed his career from earning $250,000 a year to over $14 million a year in prize money alone.
From kindergarten to college, Steven struggled academically, consistently earning average grades. However, by making marginal adjustments to his study habits and approach to learning, he transformed into a straight-A student, paving the way for a successful career in finance and economics.
Making marginal adjustments isn't limited to professional success; it extends to personal growth as well. By incorporating small changes into his daily routine, Steven achieved remarkable feats, from learning new languages to mastering unconventional skills like knitting and rock climbing.
Inspirational figures like Steven demonstrate that extraordinary results stem not from innate talent but from a commitment to making incremental improvements. By embracing marginal adjustments, we can unlock our full potential and pursue our most ambitious dreams. So, let's take a cue from Steven's playbook and start making those small but significant changes today.
