Badass: Let me Count the Ways

Atip explained that about 95% of people fail to achieve outstanding success. He said he knew that by listening to a famous Warrior who’s opinion he respected. And then he added there that are almost 7 billion people on the planet and if only 5% of them had achieved outstanding success, that’s about a third of a billion people.

“Wow!” I was impressed.

He then said something that made me stop and think.

“So, that means there are about a third of a billion ways to become successful.”

“But hold on there,” I replied “they can’t all be doing different things. There just can’t be that many ways to become successful.”

Atip scratched his nose as a grin began to form itself across his face.

“No,” he said “You are right. There are probably a lot more than that!”
