“ Improvement is not just about learning habits, it’s also about fine-tuning them.” It’s the combination of these two skills that made him successful. For example, Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind Dilbert, is not the best artist, and he is not such a good comedian. You can combine your skills and win by being different. Keep in mind, it’s very difficult to be at the top. With some work, there are areas that you could be in the top 25% of the population. It’s important to find things you are good at and work on habits that will make you great in these areas. This means that not all habits will work for you. Genes are responsible for the shape of our bodies, and also for our ability to work on different types of habits. If you don’t have long arms, you will not be the best swimmer. If you don’t have long legs, you will not win a gold medal in running competitions. A lot of our success depends on our hard work, but genes also have a lot to do with success. We all have predispositions to do something better than other people. There is no magic number to strive for however, after 40-50 repetitions, the action becomes quite automatic. There is no clear answer to the question because the more you repeat an action, the more automatic it is. But the question should be, “How many repetitions does it take to form a new habit?” It doesn’t matter much long you repeat the action, it’s all dependent on the number of repetitions. People often ask how long it takes to form a new habit. You don’t have to take large actions, a small step every day is enough, as long as you take the step. Reading about new exercises or diet programs will not get you there. The only way to be in shape is to exercise. The only way to be good at photography is to take a lot of pictures. The only way to get what you want is to take action. Thinking, reading, or talking will not complete the action for us. It’s not enough that we think about action. “ We are so focused on figuring out the best approach that we never get around to taking action.”
