4. How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life by
Scott Adams. Soft cover 256 pages. Scott Adams lays out his observations on what works and what doesn’t in the game of life. Adams found
ridiculous success as the Dilbert cartoonist by applying a few simple concepts
that most people could use. The most powerful concept in the book is captured
by Adams’s quote, “Goals are for losers; systems are for winners.” What he
means is, chasing after goals can be unsatisfying since the time frame is
somewhere in the future. (Example: "I want to lose 20 pounds by Christmas.")
A system is when you decide to do several things on a regular basis that will
increase your odds of future success. If you follow your system, your happiness
will improve as you engage in your regular behaviors, and your odds of becoming
successful will also improve. Grasping this concept alone is more than worth
the price of the book. Click here to buy from Amazon.
