The 4-Hour Workweek: The Unrealistic is Easy.

This blows my mind:

"It's lonely at the top. Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for "realistic" goals, paradoxically making them the most time-and energy-consuming"

Timothy Ferris, author of The 4-Hour Workweek claims, "the fishing is best where the fewest go...There is just less competition for bigger goals." It's true, isn't it? We're all scrounging for the "security" of mid-level positions,  affordable housing, and a decent reliable car rather than striving for that dream career, a picture-perfect house, and the sweet ride that turns heads as you cruise by.

This, along with several other concepts in The 4-Hour Workweek, certainly gets my wheels turning. I'm eager for more, more, more! 

What gets your wheels turning???
