"Superlative performance is really a confluence of dozens of small skills or activities, each one learned or stumbled upon, which have been carefully drilled into habit and then are fitted together in a synthesized whole. There is nothing extraordinary or superhuman in any one of these actions; only the fact that they are done consistently and correctly, and all together, produce excellence."

Post reserved for editing just in case this thread goes for a long time
Totally ripping on my thread
Not really though just kidding
Am I allowed to make an antithesis thread where we only post depressing posts and videos to restore balance to NSM? I mean, we can't let ourselves get too positive.
Please do that I'd enjoy that thread

Thread is going to take a slight turn. Instead of straight motivation, I'll be posting stuff more in regards to wisdom with a small blurb. PM me quotes and stuff if you have any to share.
So this quote is really wordy, but it basically points to the fact that success doesn't happen by incredible talent but is rather achieved by very mundane methods, with lots of consistency and resolve and whatnot.

Oh boy
That explains why I'm such a wreck
Me too. That describes me very accurately :S
I can understand that; indecisiveness makes things 10x more difficult than they need to be.
