One step ahead

What does it mean to be one step ahead? Simply put being a step ahead is a having somekind of advantage over everyone else. This advantage really seems insignificant and useless but at the right time it makes you perform miracles no one else can.

Have you ever heard of the word consistency? Yes as simple as that; being able to do small things that everyone else overlooks on a daily basis for a long time.

I think James Clear puts it best in his book ‘Atomic Habits’ when he said, “A pilot who has set course for a place will find himself in a completely different place if the nose of the plane misses just by 3 degrees .” This is so true.

Is that all? Of course not. It takes a bit more than just consistency. The other part of the key is studying ahead. A lot of top students would attest to this. Having some kind of idea on a subject before it is taught puts you on a much better position than the person with no clue.

Most average students will argue against these two parts of the key of being a step ahead because they partially or completely neglect one part while tremendously following one.

Pull out a calendar right now, yes even the one at the end of your exercise book and mark today with an x. Then count 21 days and mark the 21st day with a circle. Everyday from now on study a new topic for an hour then mark an x on that day until you complete the 21 days.
