The first step to success is not working hard but to think differently and do things differently.
Statistically speaking it has been spoken that the world has time and over again not only favoured those who were creative thinkers but those who think differently.
Examples to correlate this point are individuals such as Steve jobs whom after getting kicked out of his company upted for a different approach rather than filing a law suit. He created a company that could rival his former company and which saw to his reinstatement in his previous company
The advantage of being smart is that you can act the fool, while the other way around is impossible -Woody Allen-
Another such example can be seen in the case of the founder of Microsoft whom when going through a rough patch was forced to think creatively and differently.
Bill Gates once had a conversation with his mother over the intercom. She would call him to dinner from his basement bedroom, which she had given up trying to make him clean, and he wouldn't respond.
Angrily she demanded "What are you doing?" and he said "I'm thinking," she was surprised and asked again "You're thinking?", than he answered fiercely "Yes, Mom, I'm thinking, have you ever tried thinking? Thinking differently opens you to different solution for problems you think you can’t solve.
Lastly another such example can be found in the case of @Ned who rally round and birthed the creation of steemit which has in tuen empowered the lifes of so many people through the use of steem, steem power and steem backed dollar (SBD). Such genius is not only a result of creative thinking but Thinking Differently.
Thinking and not only thinking but thinking differently, is the key to a successful milestone achievement and a tremendous life.
When you think like others, you will the same result others are getting. You can’t expect to think like everyone and get a different result.
Do you think?
Do you think differently?
How often do you think?
Has thinking differently given you a positive result?
I hope this post will help you change your attitude towards thinking and will help you think differently.
