[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #108: Smarter than the Average Bear
“I’m smarter than the average bear!”
For weeks, every since he saw the Yogi Bear movie, my son, Mekhi, has been running around saying that quote. It makes him LOL. And he’s making me LOL. But he also brought to mind a nugget I wrote a few years ago:
You can’t build an extraordinary life with ordinary effort.
Think about it.
Yogi was talking about more than brains. He was talking about effort. In order to get what he wanted, Yogi put in waaaaay more effort than your average bear.
In order to have more than the average bear…uh…person has, you must DO more than the average person does. (But keep it legal!)
High achievement and lasting fulfillment are the results of extraordinary effort. So, be smart enough and disciplined enough to put forth extraordinary effort. The pay-off is huge.
Million-Dollar Question:
Are you smarter than the average bear?
