How to succeed or at least get somewhere

It was kind of funny the other day to hear a world champion describe herself almost as I would describe myself. "If someone tells me I can't do something, it really makes me want to do it".

The difference is that she has succeded better than she ever though she would do and I haven't had any success at all....

Everybody thought they understood why she had been successful. Hard work and following a certain schedule, yes, everybody agreed that they themselves had not been working hard enough. I didn't think they were listening if they came to that conclusion. Anyone can understand that hard work is required if you want to succeed in what you do.

She pointed out that having a goal was more important than following a specific plan. On the contrary, it was her and her crew members ability to adopt to whatever happened that made them successful. They were trained to not analyse in too much detail what went wrong but focus on making the most of the possibilities they had at hand to reach their goal. That's how they won!
