Why we are not them ?

This is really abt being good vs Becoming GREAT   and I came across a article which define the difference betn them 

• The great ones chose discipline over pleasure

• The great ones believe they cannot fail...they can only learn and grow

• The great ones take responsibility
• Champions have an immense capacity for world class concentration

World class performer devote invest inordinate time and energy for the selection of Major Goals and follow it with sustained concentration

Even at this age and at this stature Sachin Tendulkar goes daily for practise Thats makes him great not only talent

gud analysis .. director

Amit, before you place the comparison, you need to address “Them”.

If your “Them” counts Newton, then indeed it’s not a matter of risk taking ability but to maintain sanity in hardship and think clearly is what is required. Coz, people can be progressively productive in secured and congenial habitat, but how one behaves in adverse conditions is the real test.

Newton, Albert Einstein, Aristotle and many Great-men, had proved their mettle not in serene and stable conditions in their lives but they had conjure many a hardship.

Great argument Amit

It's a well known fact that we, Indians, especially the middle class, are easily satisfied, happily content in our own little worlds, and lack the will to look beyond our cosy cubicles and drawing rooms for challenges. A major part of the blame should fall on our social structure, and accepted beliefs and customs. We are not supposed to delay getting married beyond a certain age, not supposed to challenge authority, not supposed to chuck a cushy job and plunge into something uncertain, in short - not supposed to act in a manner that might not be acceptable to our peers/friends/family.

Ages of conditioning to accept things as they come have made the average Indian a contented, less ambitious, less daring, and inertia-prone individual, with notable exceptions like Dhirubhai Ambani, JRD Tata and similar others challenging the status quo once in a while.

OKAY AMIT .. BUT THE FACT  IS "" DEBATABLE ""THAT NEWTON ACTUALLY SAW THE FALLING APPLE ""IS  a TRUISM AND NOT VIRTUALISM..

Yes we are, as we are not quality conscious. We try to finish things as soon as possible and put them behind us. We do not have any eye for detail or how to do things differently and in a better manner.

Hence its not satisfaction, but more of a mindset of how to get over things with.

Well said amit, I agree with you. Most of us are happy with what we have. And we forget our aims and goals. If you ask a person what you want to be, he will tell many things but when he gets a good job with a good salary he forgets it and tries to be happy with what he has. This is the reason we are not able to archive anything. So we should never get satisfied till we get what we want.......
