One distinguishing feature Iโ€™ve noticed among people who are unusually successful is that they just try a lot of stuff โ€” socially, intellectually, professionally. Itโ€™s the rate of experimentation, the number of shots on goal, that provides the magic, not the percentage of successes, which might be very low at first.
