To achieve success you need to learn how to win.
I thought If I worked hard to get a degree I would be ahead of the pack.
To achieve success you need to learn how to acquire skills but unless they help you win you will never succeed.
I learned how to use Lithium aluminium hydride as a reducing agent but didn’t much care about the result.
Winning is not the hard part. Neither is acquiring skills. The hard part is being honest about what success looks like.
Because then you can acquire the right skills to solve the problems that will inevitably come your way.
