I’ve known about the 90/10 Ratio for a long time, but Robert gives us all a good reminder about it.
Pretty soon, if we don’t start paying attention, it could reach the 95/05 ratio, or even 99/01, with 1 percent of the people owning 99 percent of the nation’s assets.
Winners shouldn’t let that happen, and I hope that includes you. How can you tap into the power of that 90/10 principle? It’s important to have dreams.
“A man’s reach should exceed his grasp,” as Robert Browning said. That’s what keeps us going.
I like to say, “If your reality begins with your dreams, your dreams will become your reality.”
Why is that? Because to think otherwise leaves us at the level of mere survival, which is not what most people want. Did you ever hear a young person say that he or she hoped to become a bum someday? I haven’t either.
Usually young people say that they want to be the president, an astronaut, a fireman or a doctor. Those are demanding and sometimes heroic professions and young people have the dreams and aspirations to match them.
Another way to get the rule working for you is to remain young at heart - to aim high and have the enthusiasm and the plans to achieve what you are aiming for.
Don’t hesitate to have wild dreams. They are so much better than having no dreams at all. Pay attention to your dreams, then focus on what it’s going to take to achieve them.
