Today I want to talk to you about self-criticism and effort to achieve whatever we set out to do.
This phrase that some attribute to Gary Player and others to Arnold Palmer (two masters of golf), I think it found its “inspiration” in an earlier one by Thomas Jefferson:
“The harder I work, the luckier I get”.
Both have the same “recao”:
Curry it and stop crying.
If you train (a golfer’s job is to train, not to play tournaments) you will find that you will automatically get better results not linked to providence.
We all have a friend or acquaintance who always complains about his or her bad luck. I admit that I myself have had that attitude on occasion. They are the same people who justify the success of others with precisely that, with the luck they have that they cannot find.
They don’t have the slightest internal self-criticism. They commit emotional suicide on their own.
We know the theory, but sometimes it is difficult to put it into practice.
I can’t stand this way of justifying one’s own failures and the successes of others.
In short, it is envy. As I heard Mago More say, something that is free and infinite.
As it can’t be otherwise, you do what you want. It is clear to me.
The tools of the poor, as Luis Monge Malo says, are:
Talent or effort. If you put the two together, you should never have money problems.
I have the talent I have, but no one can say that I haven’t been making an effort all my life.
First I did it with architecture and, for years now, with architectural visualisation with one main objective:
To learn every day to be better.
My clients appreciate it.
I love it when they tell me:
Fuck, you bastard, I didn’t expect this. This is different.
If you want to say the same to me, send me a message and you’ll see how your upcoming promotion will sell in no time.
I don’t come from a wealthy family (I’m not complaining) and my parents taught me the culture of effort.
