Make yourself a master

bythemethod | July 30, 2008

Quote:
I believe that the true road to pre-eminent success in any line is to make yourself master of that line
Andrew Carnegie

I always think it is wise to listen to the words of those who have made a success out of life. It is near to impossible to find anyone who has all of the answers but it is wise to listen to anyone who has been successful at anything.

When you listen to anyone – no matter who they are and including me – there is always the chance that they might be wrong.

However in this case I think Andrew Carnegie is spot on right. So many people want to be a success without putting in the hard work of becomming an expert in their field.

Becoming an expert can take a very long time, and it is hard even then to get people to listen to you, but this does not make it any less important.

If you are struggling to keep going then remember that sometimes it is hard but if you want to be the best you have to put in the work. To be pre-emminent in anything you have to become a master of it.
