I am a big fan of your books and life philosophy. Right now I’m in the middle of the Greene’s Mastery and in fact just finished reading the chapter on apprenticeship.

However, when I was reading it I felt that it went against what you preached in 4HR Workweek since Greene advocates submitting to reality, while you argue that reality is negotiable. And so I was a little surprised that you give it a praise here (even though it’s for a different aspect)

So can you (of maybe anyone reading this comment :) ) please tell me how would you combine these two seemingly opposite approaches together? Thank you in advance.

Holla from Moscow :)

Valuing learning over just making more money will always pay off over time. Figure out what you enjoy doing and then put yourself into a situation where you can learn about it.

Another important principle is that you should strive to excel at what you do, not just to be competent.

I authored the personal development book “The Success Formula for Personal Growth.” Its companion website is GetSuccessQuotes.com and has thousands of personal development quotes and success quotes and tips.

Great book, full of insights and pathways to attaining greatness… Interesting how it is ambition, not talent, that brings about our greatest achievements!

I believe I read this quote in “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, but it’s made a huge difference on my work experience & the time it takes for me to learn something. And it fits exactly what this article is trying to state…
