The Quiet Baby

Success Magazine
has a great interview with Usher.

He greatly believes in mentorship
and in asking questions.

“You’ve got to ask questions;
you have to be willing to open your mouth.
A quiet baby doesn’t get fed.
There is a ton of information,
opportunity out here;
you’ve got to go after it.
It’s not going to come to you.
Eventually, if you do the right things,
then success will follow you.
But you have to create
a profile in life
that speaks to the individual
you will grow to be,
not just the current situation you’re in.”

I was once a quiet baby.
I’m naturally an introvert.
But you know what I figured out
early on in life?
Quiet people have a tougher time
achieving success.

I wanted success
so
I would force myself
to ask questions.
Now, like any action repeated,
asking questions is a habit.

Don’t be a quiet baby.
