Falling into these traps can put "roadblocks on your path to success," he explains.
In Marr's observation of successful people, he has noticed a few mistakes that they tend to avoid. Here are three of them:
Mistake No. 1: Following the trends.
In the words of Jack Kerouac, "Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion." In our case the trend seems to be stroke prevention and F.A.S.T. The ASA, NSA and WSO fall all over themselves trying to put out the most press releases.Neither one is the solution needed, prevention in stroke is just glorified generalities, your doctor can always point to something you did wrong, F.A.S.T gives out the wrong impression that just getting to the hospital fast will solve all your stroke problems. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Mistake No. 2: Refusing to take responsibility.
"One of the first things you
will notice that successful people don't have is a blaming or victim
mentality," Marr says. When things go awry, successful people won't say,
"I couldn't succeed because of X," I have yet to see any acknowledgement of responsibility for solving any specific stroke issue.
Mistake No. 3: Trying to go it alone.
One of the most critical things
successful people do is surround themselves with other successful
people, Marr explains. I have to work on this.
