Normal vs Exceptional People

Routine of a Normal Person:
5am : wake up, exercise, go market
6am - 6pm : go to work, accomplish 20 work tasks
6pm - 11pm : take dance class / teach dance class, social dance, socialize
Daily Personal tasks: 25 tasks (exercise, go market, dance, socialize, cook, laundry, etc)

A regular person accomplishes 20 work tasks and about 25 personal tasks every day.
An exceptional person accomplishes more.  Exceptional people in work accomplishes 30 - 50 tasks a day at the initial stage, and progress to 100 things a day at work. 

Exceptional people then progress to become managers, senior managers and CEOs.  As they go higher up, they do lesser tasks but each task has higher points (eg, 30 - 50 points to manage a staff to do his 20 tasks which are 1 - 10 points in nature).  This gives them more free time on their hands but the problems they handle need more time, effort and heart to solve.

The way to success is to develop good habits to be able to do their required tasks everyday (and more), and to do it with a positive mindset.

“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“Sow a thought, and you reap an act;
Sow an act, and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.”
― Samuel Smiles

“It will be difficult to break the habits of thinking (...) instilled in me, like tugging a single thread from a complex work of embroidery. But I will find new habits, new thoughts, new rules. I will become something else.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”
― Jim Ryun

“H is for Habit, winners make a habit of doing the things losers don't want to do.”
― Lucas Remmerswaal, The A-Z of 13 Habits: Inspired by Warren Buffett
“The only way we could remember would be by constant re-reading, for knowledge unused tends to drop out of mind. Knowledge used does not need to be remembered; practice forms habits and habits make memory unnecessary. The rule is nothing; the application is everything.”
― Henry Hazlitt, Thinking as a Science 


“Just do it! First you make your habits, then your habits make you!”
― Lucas Remmerswaal, The A-Z of 13 Habits: Inspired by Warren Buffett
“Good habits are the basic tools that will determine whether you are a tortoise
or hare in life!”
― Lucas Remmerswaal, 13 Habits.com the Tale of Tortoise Buffett and Trader Hare
“Habits define who we are from the outside in, more than who we are defines us from the inside out.”
― Jarod Kintz, 99 Cents For Some Nonsense
“Courage is a requirement for facing your fears, doing things differently, and applying any new habits that align with and support your goals.”
― John Manning, The Disciplined Leader: Keeping the Focus on What Really Matters
“Habits of action cultivated early in life lay the foundation for unique skill sets able to carve a path beyond the mundane and into the relevant.”
― Marian Deegan, Relevance: Matter More
