Finally, The Shortcut to Excellence and Chutzpah
Excellence is hard. Very hard. You have to refine, improve, analyze, redo, ... all the time and with everything you do. In short: You have to work. But compared to chutzpah, excellence is easy. Chutzpah is where it's at. You need some basic charisma for anything even remotely resembling chutzpah. You have to be creative and bold at the same time. Even more so, you have to constantly deliver peak performance, even on short notice. Otherwise, you reputation suffers.
Now, after years of research and weighing the pros and the cons, there is a shortcut, here is the solution for experiencing the multiplication of excellence and chutzpah.
Try excellence × chutzpah on for size in a holodeck-like multi-dimensional and multi-sensational simulation. It won't last all too long and you aren't going to feel all too good afterwards but trust me on this one -- after giving it all in real life, after going all out, all the way -- do you think you'd feel fine with the tension over and the climax gone? Not exactly.
The shortcut: Cocaine. No hard work, no struggle with timidity. Peak performance on demand. Reputation protected.
Its possession, cultivation, and distribution are illegal for non-medicinal and non-government sanctioned purposes in virtually all parts of the world. Although its free commercialization is illegal and has been severely penalized in virtually all countries, its use worldwide remains widespread in many social, cultural, and personal settings.
But you know what? We're trying to accomplish something here. There are no rules.
Change the rules and make them yours. Bend them until they break. Any rule that can be broken is worthless anyway. As a rule at least.
April Fools Alert
Of course. But once a year it is OK. The joke that is, not the coke. The only thing that works is kaizen -- constant and never-ending improvement. There is no substitute, no shortcut, and definitely no magic pill nor powder.
Again: Constant and never-ending improvement. Nothing else works.
