Content Introduction#
Everyone desires success and even wants to find a shortcut to success. In fact, as long as we master the correct methods and are willing to put in the effort, each of us can get closer to success. "The 1% Rule" presents readers with a new rule for success - the "1% Rule." "The difference between excellence and greatness is only 1%. By taking action to improve by 1%, you can get closer to success." As long as we can change old behaviors and accept new perspectives, just like the character Ken in the book. The "1% Rule" benefited him greatly and changed his life forever. Through Ken's experience, the author conveys a positive attitude towards life to readers: not everyone can become a great figure, but everyone can become a better version of themselves than yesterday. The rules presented in the book are direct and practical, closely related to reality, and highly practical, allowing everyone to find their own position in the book.
Start#
This book is written by American author Tom Connellan and is divided into 7 chapters, which is worth reading.
In the beginning, the author uses a reverse order technique to bring the successful protagonist Ken back to four months ago when he was just an "ordinary" junior employee. An opportunity to watch his child's soccer game led him to meet their coach Jim, whose transformation with the children shocked him, and this shock became the turning point in his life.
The so-called 1% rule is to break down large chunks of life into small pieces and focus on efforts in a specific detail. The article also gives examples of several athletes, which might be easier to understand: in the men's 100m butterfly event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the difference between first-place Phelps and fourth-place was only 0.15 seconds; in the women's 100m hurdles event, the difference between first and seventh place was only 0.18 seconds. Therefore, the difference between excellence and greatness is sometimes only 1%.
That's what the 1% rule is all about. We can all improve by 1% in hundreds of things.
The only way to go further is to become a better version of yourself than yesterday.
I leave these words from the protagonist Ken to you and to myself:
- The difference between excellence and greatness = 1%;
- You may not be 100% better than others, but in hundreds of things, you can be 1% better than others;
- You may not win every competition, but you can have the heart of a winner and try to do better than yesterday;
- Not everyone will become a great person, but everyone can become a higher version of themselves;
- Becoming faster, higher, stronger is not about being the fastest, highest, or strongest.
