His work was driven by a single question: “How long does it take to become a world-class musician?” John Hayes, a professor at Carnegie Mellon once studied thousands of musical pieces between 16. I love how David Perell, host of the North Star Podcast puts it, “We see trophies, not sweat. The unseen hours, necessary failures, setbacks, crises of confidence, the loneliness, the late nights and early mornings and, all the wobbling that comes before the walking - much less running, are what builds success. Just like an iceberg, success has a deep side we rarely see. Often in life and business, things are not what they seem - the messy middle is what really creates true success. James Clear, entrepreneur and author of Atomic Habits once wrote, “When your screen is filled examples of the strongest, richest, and smartest, it’s easy to overvalue the outcome and undervalue the process.”
But time and time again, it’s been proven that persistence, dedication, commitment, sacrifice, failure, and disappointments are some of the real factors that contribute to the final win we see. People only see the end goal, the glory, the monumental win.
Most people don’t count all the costs successful people have paid overtime (below the surface) to get to what they see (above the surface). Success is an iceberg - what people see is very different from reality.
