![]() Successful people understand that some things matter a lot more than others. They consider carefully before making decisions, discover major tasks in accordance with life goals, and arrange other related tasks. Those who know how to be successful treat to-do lists in a rational way. Oftentimes, minor but critical inputs or efforts generate a majority of the outputs or rewards. Richard Koch says in his book The 80/20 Principle that 20% of your input or efforts can lead to 80% of your rewards. What we really need is a short “success list” that helps us realize our life goals and become successful in an organized way. To-do lists only help with our daily work and life but don’t help us succeed. If we take a close look at to-do lists, we will realize that items on top of the list are just trivial, unimportant stuff that you first thought of, but not the most important things. To-do lists can help people manage their time and concentrate on a plan, but at the same time, people are sometimes restricted by these lists. Then, we follow the lists to get each item done. People have invented many ways to work more efficiently to complete more things, such as to-do lists that record items to complete every day. The question is, what are we busy about?” As Henry David Thoreau said, “It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. But in fact, this will make us feel occupied and diligent, but it doesn’t guarantee success. Many people believe success will come when they do everything right and well. In this part, we’ll disclose three lies that stand between you and success. Nevertheless, these lies affect our choices when we make up our mind. In some cases, lies get modified and widespread over time, and they eventually become ubiquitous and accepted. This seems true enough, but it is in fact a lie. ![]() But if you place a frog in lukewarm water and slowly raise the temperature, it will boil to death.

This story suffices to illustrate that you should aim at the ONE Thing, just like toppling the first domino. It is beyond our imagination how high this experiment would reach if it continued. The first was a mere two inches, the last almost three feet tall The resulting domino fall began with a gentle tick and quickly ended“with a loud SLAM.”If more dominos were added, the 18th one would have been the same height as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In 2001, a physicist from San Francisco’s Exploratorium reproduced Whitehead’s experiment by creating eight dominoes out of plywood, each of which was 50% larger than the one before. What’s more astonishing is that a domino not only can topple many dominos, but it can also topple much bigger ones. With this story, the authors want to tell us that when one thing, the right thing, is set in motion, it can impact many things. But in this case, it only takes a simple flick to release that much energy. The cumulative energy unleashed was as much as it takes an average-sized male to do 545 push-ups.
