The Delusion of Superachievement?
This Business Week article discusses successful people and their drive to win at everything they do. “Successful people are delusional,” says Goldsmith. “They’re not as good as they think they are, but they have the confidence to pursue big things.”
I love this thought—that successful people are somehow a little miswired to try anything and never give up. Extremely successful people are certainly the exception to the rule, and the difference between them and everybody else really does come down to self perception.
