An old colleague of mine had it all together.
Or so I thought.
They could breakdown complex problems with ease. They could breeze through presentations. It looked effortless.
When I asked them how they did it, they responded in a surprising manner.
They said they were no better than anyone else. They said they weren’t more intelligent. They said they didn’t possess any unique skills.
But, they did acknowledge a willingness to sit and wrestle with a problem for an unusually long period of time. And that, maybe, could be the cause of the difference.
