Nigohosian 10 - Obstacles in life

As I looked at the weekly challenge this week, I saw a quote that is very relevant to some of the things that I do today. This quote is from Warren Buffett, and he states “I don’t look to jump over seven-foot bars. I look for one-foot bars that I can step over.” This quote has many connections to various ideas, but it also relates to the saying work harder not smarter. There is a strong correlation with this idea because it’s much easier to do work that is either broken down, or it is easier to do less work in general. For the most part, it is important to do work that is manageable, so you don’t overwork yourself trying to get work done.

I think that it is important to follow this advice as it helps to save time. If it is Warren Buffett saying this quote, I would think that he used this same idea while he was younger to be as successful as he is today. I think the main takeaway from this is to look for opportunities that are achievable rather than daunting tasks which would allow us to be much more successful rather than striving to achieve an almost impossible goal to reach. This success comes from the many achievements that we would be able to complete because they are much more manageable to do. Even if there is the occasion when we face daunting challenges, it is important to break it down into smaller obstacles which makes things easier to handle. Taking advice from a person who became successful from it is important because of the possibilities that we could achieve.
