Dear Friends,

I greet you all. This short piece will bring us to the concluding part of the Pareto Principle. I know you guys have been following my submission based on Audrey Hepburn's story I have shared. Do you miss it? Check 1 & 2 before I drop the keynote that rule out 80/20 rule based on my own view I want you to check out this man called Jeff Bezos.

Who is Jeff Bezos?

I searched one information on the internet early hour of today and I stumbled upon the founder of Amazon called Jeff Bezos then I settle down to learn from his story following the fact that I want to conclude 80/20 rule discussion I started two series ago. We need to be hopeful and be confident about the future but again it is our understanding that determines our stand in all our journey in life.

Do you know that Jeff (Founder of Amazon) has worked with Wall Street and climbed the corporate ladder to become senior vice president of a hedge fund before he left all in 1994 to start Amazon?
Take this into the discussion I started which 80/20 rule, assume that he had applied this rule in 1993 in an attempt to discover the most effective areas to focus on in his career, I tell you it is virtually impossible to imagine that creating or starting an internet company would have been on the list. It was cleared to me based on what I pictured from his story, if you measured by financial gain, social status, or otherwise Hedge Fund would have been the one where he continued his career in finance and that's why I said earlier, it is your understanding that determines your stand... In your journey of life, what do you picture? Money? Fame?

A new path will never look like the most effective option in the beginning by samest

If I should go by 80/20 rule, your recent engagement is calculated and determined which released to the world your effectiveness in the journey of life and whatever seems like the highest value use of your precious time in any given moment will be dependent on your previous skills and current opportunities. Considering this principle called 80/20 you will find useful things in your past and get more of them in the future. But I tell you if you don't want your future to be more of your past, friends you need different approach.

Listen to the downside of being effective:

You often optimize for your past rather than for your future... by samest

Let me conclude here;

If you have a passion for a thing but you don't know how to get it done, give yourself enough practice and enough time, the thing that previously seemed ineffective can become very effective when you are more committed and consistent. Friends, you get good at what you practice
Do you remember? Audrey Hepburn dialed down her acting career far back in 1967 and it was like volunteering didn't seem nearly as effective but after three decades, Hepburn received the Presidential Medal of Freedom compare to if she continues acting in more romantic comedies.

KeyNote: A visionary that passes through a process of learning a new skill or starting a new company or taking on a new adventure of any sort will often appear to be an ineffective person comparing the use of time at first. But again if you compare it to the other things you already know how to do, the new thing will seem like a waste of time and I tell you this will never win the 80/20 analysis (Pareto Principle). This is not a wrong decision, you need to stay focus and continue till you succeed. Drop your comment, look at it from another angle.

Thanks for reading.
