1. They don't create back-up plans.
For stroke rehab, there are no backup plans - stem cells may never work out, don't wait for that.
2. They do the work...
You can be good with a little effort. You can be really good with a little more effort.
But you can't be great--at anything--unless you put in an incredible amount of focused effort.
Scratch the surface of any person with rare skills and you'll find a person who has put thousands of hours of effort into developing those skills.
There are no shortcuts.
You will need to work extremely hard at stroke rehab, 1000 tries is probably not enough, 1 million might do it. So start by not counting
3. ...and they work a lot more.
4. They avoid the crowds.
Remarkably successful people habitually do what other people won't do. They go where others won't go because there's a lot less competition and a much greater chance for success.
You can't count on doing what others have done or your therapists give you. You have to create your own plan as Steven Wolf says.
5. They start at the end...
Average success is often based on setting average goals.
Never start small where goals are concerned. You'll make better decisions--and find it much easier to work a lot harder--when your ultimate goal is ultimate success.
Your goal should not be ADLs, that's average, you are much better than that. 100% recovery is the only goal I am willing to settle for.
6. ... and they don't stop there.
Achieving a goal--no matter how huge--isn't the finish line for highly successful people. Achieving one huge goal just creates a launching pad for achieving another huge goal.
My goal after all that is to create a Great stroke association, lasso that moon Dean.
7. They sell.
8. They are never too proud.
To admit they made a mistake. To say they are sorry. To have big dreams. To admit they owe their success to others. To poke fun at themselves. To ask for help.
To fail.
And to try again.
You have to accept failure by getting up and trying again. Stroke rehab is more about getting up again than the trying.
There are these 8 Japanese Proverbs about Success and Failure
Failure is the basis of success. (Meaning: Failure teaches us what actions should we change in order to achieve success.)
☯ A three days monk. (Meaning: A quitter. One who cannot stick at nothing. One who gives up as soon as difficulty arises.)
☯ The rain comes and it hardens the earth. (Meaning: After the adversity, we become stronger.)
Read Peter Levines' book - Stronger After Stroke
☯ A thorough examination of the “bad tools”. (Meaning: A bad workman quarrels with his tools (blames his tools). A loser always makes some silly excuse.)
My therapist isn't giving me the proper exercises, my clinic doesn't have this technology. Nobody is telling me the way to recover. Whine, whine, whine.
☯ Practice rather than theory.
In our case we don't have a theory so the only thing we can do is practice.
☯ Loser is winner. (Avoiding damaging battles. I’d rather be happy than “right”.)
☯ Necessity is the mother of invention.
☯ Even Buddhist teachings scripts have some calligraphy brush slips. (Meaning: Even the greatest expert or master sometimes fails. Even Homer sometimes nods. Anyone can make a mistake. Nobody’s perfect. Everyone makes mistakes.)
☯ Black paper is small but spicy. Small actions may matter. (Meaning: One can make a strong impact in spite of his/her particular difficulties, like small body etc. A little body often harbors a great soul/mind. Small head but great wit. Sometimes a little action can change things a lot.)
And a couple Chinese ones
