9 Lessons from 'The Compound Effect' By Darren Hardy

THREAD 🧵

It is Choice, not Chance, that determines your destiny.

The decisions that you make on a daily basis are the building blocks of your reality.
Good Habits Are The Key To Success

If you want to emerge successful, you need to create habits that enforce ethics, discipline and persistence in your life.

Success is achieved through positive, constructive habits.

Failure is the result of negative, destructive habits.
When you get tempted to engage in destructive habits, ask yourself if the thing you want to do is contributing to your success.

If not, replace it with something constructive.
Patiently Pursue Your Goal

Everyone wants overnight success, but that's just not how the compound effect works.

The truth is, we have to be patient.

Maintain your vision, work towards your target and with patience, you shall ultimately achieve your goals.
There are no shortcuts to the top.

You have to put in the work and stay persistent along the way.

Do not despair when you encounter problems.

Every problem is a chance for you to grow and become even stronger on the path to achieve your goals.
The small decisions which we make on a daily basis are responsible for the biggest changes in our lives.

These seemingly insignificant decisions compound over time and result in huge results.

Master the art of small decisions and you will see great results over time.
Success is not to be pursued, but to be attracted by the person you become.

If you want to have more of anything in your life, you need to become more of what attracts that which you want.

Your life is a reflection of the choices you have made.
Some of the most powerful emotions that we can have are gratitude and appreciation.

They allow us to feel positive about the people and the circumstances around us.

Anything that you appreciate, appreciates in value.
Society tells us to pick a job or a vocation without ever thinking about the life we want to have.

Darren says this is wrong.

Instead, choose the life that you want to live first and then pick the career that will get you there.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.

3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
