The mindset that will prevent you from accomplishing great things
When we were toddlers, we learned the basic skills for toggling through life through constant incidental practice. We didn’t learn how to walk in a classroom. We just kept falling on our butts and getting up.
There was no way we could be scared of the most difficult of tasks because in our subconscious we knew that everything just needed practice.
I don’t know if nature plays a  trick on us and leaves us hanging once we learn the “basics” or if 
Let’s switch scenario for a second. Imagine a figure skater performing his or her routine effortlessly. So graceful, so relaxed without even breaking a sweat, gliding on the ice, flying through the air…
STOP!
“Effortless” does not exist. 
Effortless
 is the result of endless hours of practice – the science of human 
research mentions a number between 8,000 to 10,000 hours to get to 
expert status – or what we can call effortless.
One of the greatest soccer players of all time, Lionel Messi said this:
“it took 17 years, 3 months and 22 days for me to become an overnight success.”
He
 was implying that it took him 17 years of constant, repetitive and 
often times, monotonous training to become the world-famous star that he
 is now. 
Now let me ask you this if somebody has to train that 
many hours, do you really think it was effortless for 10,000 hours? Do 
you really think you can train for 10,000 hours and never fall on your 
butt, be knocked down, have setbacks, doubts, injuries, tears, blood, 
and sweat???
Of course not.
Regardless, we still do not 
accept the fact that nothing comes easy at the first try. It is this 
exact mindset that will prevent us from accomplishing great things. 
It
 is a painful realization eh? Yes, I know. But now, you are fine because
 you are not like most people. You do not accept defeat. You want to be 
successful and accomplish great things. In fact, you want to take action
 because NOBODY can tell you that you can’t or won’t do it. 
That’s great!
If
 you want the tools needed to accomplish great things, you need to put 
yourself into an environment that would challenge you and raise your 
level of awareness and consciousness. Thus, demanding nothing but your 
best. 
Where is this environment? You might think it’s your 
science club, but it isn’t. Yes, joining a science club will challenge 
you intellectually but what about the rest that is needed to make you 
successful and inspire you to do great things? 
Where do you 
learn grit, perseverance, focus, empathy, leadership and how to overcome
 hesitations or worse fear? Sorry to break it to you, but your science 
club might only be one piece of the puzzle, and I am afraid it might be 
the smaller piece.
