Unreasonable Success and How to Achieve It
Richard Koch · 3 highlights
“Unreasonably successful people construct their own proprietary mental map to guide their steps. They create their own segment, which reflects their personality, their objective and their way of working, all at the same time. Nobody else can enter their skin; nobody else can enter their segment; it is impenetrable, because they fill it, and nobody else can.”
“They all share this paradox – they are simultaneously varied in their work and it evolved markedly over time, yet each one’s whole range of output could not be the work of anyone else. They are their work and their work is them.”
