This week’s BELL CURVE focuses on EDUCATION. YOUR EDUCATION.

It does not take having a Ph.D. to know that without an ever-increasing level of education, you destined to remain right where you are. That is fine for some people but for those that bitch, whine, & moan about how they are not getting anywhere or believe they should be getting paid more for the limited level of responsibility they currently have, if any.

While some are happy being right where they are on the corporate ladder. There are others that REFUSE to remain on the lower rungs and in order to move the ladder they know building on and improving their level of education will make the journey to the top a little bit easier and faster but even then, the need to continue their education will never cease.

One thing I should clear up: Continuing your education does not have to be in a formal classroom setting, it does however involve you taking the initiative and doing something to make increasing your level of education happen.

You want success? Then that’s all up to you to achieve it.

Remember a couple of weeks back I talked about people creating drama, usually for their own validation.

There is another interesting observation that comes along with creating drama for the sake of creating drama.

Individuals, that create drama out of nothing usually do so without ever accepting any level of responsibility for that drama.

They will deny, point fingers, accuse others to the point that they will get physical in order to deflect the blame off of themselves even when they are caught red-handed.

These self-centered individuals will play the role of victim at the drop of a hat. These individuals cannot be reasoned with as they have no clue or idea on how to accept responsibility for their actions.

Be very careful when dealing with this type of toxicity as they can quickly turn on you. It will ultimately turn back to them being the victim making easier for them to NOT accept responsibility. They will never even dream about holding themselves accountable as they truly believe they have done nothing wrong and everyone is out to get them.

Proceed with caution when encountering this species.

Thank You & Until Next Week,

We make decisions every day. Turn right, turn left. Drive fast, drive slowly. Say Yes or say no. No matter what we choose the decisions we make also have outcomes that are either expected or unexpected. They are right or they are wrong. However, once made and acted on a decision and its outcome can never be changed.

It is for that reason that every decision, no matter how mundane, must be made with above average quality. What does Above Average Quality mean? It means that with every decision we make those decisions with more than just a passing glance or quick overview. It must be done with a deeper understanding of the question and anticipating the various outcomes.

Making High Quality decisions does not guarantee that positive outcomes will occur. What it does guarantee is that you thought things through and in anticipating the possible outcomes you were prepared to deal with those unexpected issues.
The higher the quality decisions you make will make your life Above Average.

By continually, working on improving your decision-making skills you will maintain making high quality decisions. Stop or fail altogether, then you will get exactly what you deserve.

Folks, I am not kidding when I ask if you want a better life and respond by saying you do. Then the only way to get that “BETTER LIFE” is by doing what it takes and having NO choice but to put in the work. Contrary to popular belief there are no short cuts to SUCCESS and a “BETTER LIFE”.

Thank you,
