Hi,
This is my quick reflection about the latest video from Leo called "27 qualities of ALL succesful people". Somehow it strikes me that the success definition conveyed in this video is just great career with lots of money. One of the qualities of a "succesful man" claimed by Leo is that he typically commits so much time to his success (read: career) that he is ready to sacrifice whatever it takes to get there. I.e. he gets less time with his family, less sex etc - just as described in the video.
Now the question: is the guy making such big sacrifices for his success still succesful? Maybe this is where struggle and depression just begins for an average family guy who desperately wants to push his own career forward while still finding time to play with his kids after work. And maybe the fact he needs to make tradeoffs here is the source of his suffering?
What I mean is that this video is a 1-dimensional view of one's "success" defined by pushing your career. It assumes a man has only one purpose in life on which he can focus 100% of his powers. It does not take into account multiple roles a man in today's world needs to take at the same time and how little time he has for it. And yes - to be "succesful" - he needs to make ends meet in all the roles (i.e. father, husband, entrepreneur etc.)
While this video may be quite practical for a single person with no social commitments, I believe it won't apply to an average Joe with lots of roles in his life. I would encourage Leo to post another video to define success qualities for "multithreaded" men ;-)
PS. I hugely appreciate the knowledge in your vids. Keep up the good work!
