Ive never watched the TV program Who Wants to Be a Millionaire but I realize it teaches a valuable lesson on how to become successful.
The premise of the show seems simple enough. Youre asked a multiple-choice question and if you answer correctly, you win the stated dollar amount. If you want to continue and win more, you risk the amount won so far. The game ends when youve won $1 million, or you stop playing, or you answer the question wrong and lose all your winnings.
The interesting part of the game is the questions asked are more difficult to answer at each level to the $1 million. Success in any endeavor works the same way. Youll have harder challenges to solve as you get closer to achieving your goals.
Success comes in all shapes and sizes. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire shows that easy questions earn small rewards and harder questions deserve bigger rewards.
Success however has one undeniable and often rejected natural law It aint easy.
Read any biography of a successful person and theyll tell you of the challenges they faced on their journey to success. Few had it easy and the rest had to prove they were worthy of receiving success.
Funny thing about natural law, it sometimes doesnt follow its own rule. Every once in a while someone gets a pass and success happens easily.
How pointless would Who Wants to Be a Millionaire be if every question to $1 million could be answered by a 5-year old? How apathetic would you become if you never failed?
You might be saying to yourself, If I had Bill Gates money, I wouldnt mind a little apathy.
Did I tell you apathy also has its own natural law Dont make me hurt you. It will put challenges purposely in front of you. Face the challenge and everything is possible. Ignore the challenge and suffer the consequence.
Without challenge, success is meaningless. This is why the audience cheers-on the contestant, everyone dreams of being their personal hero, and you keep getting up in the morning to take another stab at it.
