The Iceberg Illusion: How People Often See Success

EE Edit@rs · April 6, 2016 · Leave a Comment

I saw this picture on Facebook today and I thought it perfectly represented how some people look at other people’s success.  Some are quick to label successful people lucky. But here’s the real story behind the “luck.” It’s the process and struggle of success people often never see.  People only see the end goal, the glory, the monumental win.  They don’t see the dedication, hard work, persistence, discipline, disappointment, sacrifices, and many failures it takes to reach “success.”  I think the picture below, titled The Iceberg Illusion perfectly represent my sentiments.
