Drawing on a napkin

"Mr. Picasso would you please draw something on this napkin and I'll pay you for it."  said a lady.  Picasso proceeded to draw a few lines on the napkin and gave it back to the lady, and said, "That'll be 10.000 dollars."  The lady jumped and said, "but it took you just a minute to draw this!"  "No madam, it took me a lifetime."

Earl Nightingale on Success

"One becomes what one thinks about most."  (Uno se convierte en lo que más piensa).   Earl Nightingale; most recognized expert on success.

But the formula forgets the word "action."  Thus, to rephrase it, it should say: ONE BECOMES WHAT ONE THINKS ABOUT MOST, AND PUTS THAT THINKING INTO ACTION.

This saying is particularily true of Samuel Walton, creator of WalMart and the richest man in history so far.

To Become a Polymath:

In order to become a Polymath, you must first know how to manage your time well, and in the most efficient and effective way possible or otherwise you will be squandering your most precious assett: TIME.

The Polymath does not quit until he truly masters a new field, and will concentrate on it until he/she has mastered it.

There must be a burning desire to learn everything about the new field, and to study as much on it as is required to master the new subject.

A True Polymath masters as many fields as he/she possibly can.
