We all search for
the secret to success,
whether we admit
to it or not.
And many gurus sell it.
They claim
they have a magic formula
that will guarantee success.
But human nature being
what it is,
if they DID have
that secret,
the first buyers
of their formula,
once they had achieved
their own blazing success,
wouldn’t keep it a secret.
“It’s hard to trust
someone who has
a secret method.
While this might be
a competitive requirement,
it’s more likely that
the person has simply had
a lucky streak
(streaks are statistically likely).”
Secret methods
that are successful
don’t remain secret methods
for long.
They quickly become
new methods
and new methods
DO emerge all the time.
