When people succeed quote:
“When people succeed they tend to party but when they fail they tend to ponder.”
– Tony Robbins
Understand the big idea or meaning behind this quote:
Greatness tends to come from pondering.
Steve Jobs after being fired from Apple says it was one of the most creative moments of his life because it humbled him and allowed him to return to a beginners mind. Something that was challenging for him after the success he had early on at Apple.
Maybe it’s a necessary course of a person’s journey to go to that low moment and do a little searching and then bounce back. It can’t always be sunshine and rainbows. People who succeed don’t have a 100% success rate. Failing and falling may very well be part of the natural cycle.
The ideal would be to remain leveled headed throughout the whole journey. To never let a compliment lead to self delusion and to ignore all baseless insults and criticisms. The north star we should follow is to always be learning, seeking progress, and trying new approaches.
As for the pondering, Tony says:
“The pondering is when you usually get the growth, the insight, the strategy that’ll change your business, they’ll change your personal life, that’ll change your finances.”
