The Self-Development Experiments
"All I have done is to try experiments...on as vast a scale as I could." - Gandhi
In the past, I've had many role models that I learned about through books, word-of-mouth, and other forms of media. Upon meeting and getting to know more about them, I was invariably disappointed in some way. Because of their brands, I created unrealistic, idealistic images of them and didn't really see them as having normal human flaws. While "super-human" brands may motivate some, it seems to turn off most people who end up disassociating themselves from very successful people.
I hope that any success I achieve will be a reminder to others of how doable pursuing and achieving one's dreams are. I believe that people who go for their dreams are scientists performing experiments on human potential. These people offer a great service to society by honestly talking about their journey so other people can copy their lessons learned and avoid their mistakes.
