Stop Reading Lists of Things Successful People Do

The text fails to mention that the definition of success in these lists usually is "a person that is rich", which is for itself a very shallow definition of success for a human being.

This reminds me of an essay I just read on the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act). There was a highly detailed example on how a fighter pilot uses this method.

But, what if I said 'in my example this works well for 0.00027% of the population' (just air-force pilots, fighter pilots would be way less less), should you try and do what they do to achieve the same result?

Yeah right, because the problem is they are already successful and it's depressing knowing 'what they do'. While normal people try to be successful might not have access/time/money to do 'stuffs' usually successful people do, funny but hard truth.
