"The main thing that’ll get you ahead in life is your level of enthusiasm and excitement." — Robert Greene
The purpose of this record is to reflect on personal experience that may rekindle motivation and clarity for the reader.
In High School, it is some thing to play First Team sports or any competitive game in the first year of arrival, particularly the 8th grade, because you’re up against the 12th grade and/or the best athletes the school has to offer.
There’s a pattern to be studied from those who stand out in such a way and are selected to represent their teams from their initial arrival; it is their excitement for after-school training, and the enthusiasm they have for improving their skill outside of school hours, weekends, and holidays.
Simplified,
"You will be most successful where you are most intensely interested." - Charlie Munger, Businessman and Investor
It is a strong interest towards something that helps you get ahead in life — You are excited every day to practice that something, and you are way too enthusiastic about it to wait for a coach or parent to call you into practice.
You realize you’ve got the willpower to decide how much time, effort, and sacrifice you get to dedicate towards it — and with that realization comes results, and with results, dominance in your field. Because you will be sought after as an expert.
You move from ordinary (unskilled) to extraordinary (skilled).
