Have you ever thought about why some people get to the top without much struggle, while others who put in a lot of effort do not even advance a little?
Why does some people get to enjoy economical, psychological, and social freedom on one hand, and on the other are those feeling trapped, overloaded, or completely lost?
Most of us growing up got the following advice:
- Be a diligent student.
- Put in more hard work.
- Take risk free moves.
- Adhere to the norms.
- Never doubt those in power.
- It’s a long run to success.
- Have an unambitious mindset.

But they are not superhuman, lucky, or the fittest — most of them just happen to be rare in terms of their mindset.
