This issue's Words of Wisdom puts in your hands a philosophical masterpiece constructed from my arduously developed beliefs about excelling throughout life. What follows are the four basic characteristics of superior people. I give these to you people because I believe you all are capable of meeting them. Superior people learn quickly. The more quickly you learn, the more knowledge you have.
Superior people can recognize a situation.
It doesn't take Einstein's brain and two pots of coffee to realize that if you recognize opportunities before they pass, you'll have an advantage over those people who don't. However, it does take a superior person to actually recognize those opportunities. Superior people have the ability to adapt quickly. After you recognize an opportunity, you must adapt quickly to your new circumstances in order to reap your reward. This concept is abstract and, therefore, difficult to explain, but think of it as having the ability to mentally prepare yourself for any undertaking.
