Lessons In Self-Mastery - The "It Takes A Lot Of Work Principle" (The Comedian Who Couldn't Read)

This story is about a man who learned how to cope with what he thought was a hindrance as a young child...

Michael Jr actually couldn't read very well as a boy. What he learned to do instead was to look at a word he didn't know 7 different ways. As he got older, his reading skills improved...and his ability to look at a word 7 different ways became automatic and lightning quick!

Michael actually attributes his comedy and sense of humour to being able to look at ANY situation 7 different ways at any given time.

So you see, what he once struggled with actually turned out to be the one thing that helped build his success.

The moral of the story?

It doesn't pay to ask for the easy way out. Learn to put in the work.

You never know where that kind of attitude can take you.
