Quick takeaways
- Being the first to accomplish something doesn't make us better or superior, but rather makes it easier for others to replicate our success.
- It is important to recognize that our own struggles and failures can be similar to those of others, and learning from their challenges can help us understand the difficulties we may face.
Deep dives
Being the first isn't the best
When we are the first to accomplish something, we tend to think we are better or superior. However, the truth is that being the first just means it becomes easier for others to replicate our success. For example, after Roger Banister broke the four-minute mile, many others achieved the same feat. This applies to entrepreneurship as well, where having a unique idea or feature does not guarantee long-term success.
