It is impossible not to succeed.
Ayanokouji, the protagonist of Classroom of the Elite is an unsurpassed student to date. With his calm, calculating and practical personality he always manages to get his way.
But Ayanokouji would still stand out even if he had half a brain. And I would still stand out even if I had half a brain. And you should still stand out even if you had half a brain.
Have you noticed the rest of the Classroom of the Elite students?
99% of them want to win, but they limit themselves to following other people's plans, they do not have clear objectives and they put in just enough effort to reach the goal.
Exactly the same thing happens in real life.
People go blindly to see where life takes them.
I have a clear goal, a plan to achieve it over the next five years, and great motivation to work like a motherfucker for it, for as long as it takes.
Not even 1% people I know have a goal to strive for.
There is no competition.
So it is impossible not to succeed.
