You see losers think, “I can’t be hot, I can’t be rich, I can’t be cool. “ Because they think you’re either born that way or you aren’t.

But winners, winners think: “I can be whatever I want, willing I put in enough practice to do so.”

Let me tell you a story.

In college I interned in a counseling center where I had a lot of down time.

During my downtime I’d read the counselors training manuals for the courses they taught when I saw a study called, “Why Asian Americans achieve high levels of educational attainment.”

I was deeply intrigued and dove into the article.

That’s when I discovered the secret.

You see the secret lies in one belief that’s heavily emphasized in Asian cultures that starkly contrasts most western beliefs.

When you’re bad at something in the west, you’re untalented.

When you’re bad at something in Asian cultures you need more practice.

You want to be smooth, practice socializing.

You want to be funny, practice standup.

You want to be fit, practice exercising.

You can have whatever you like, if you’re willing to ditch your loser mentality, and put in the effort.
