How successful leaders spent their teenage years

I don’t think I have ever before been compared with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. 【1】 But for what it is worth, I’ll give you some traits that I think are common among most of these people.

Reading

Read a wide variety of books and articles that stretch your imagination. Don’t just read easy books (like Harry Potter). 【2】Those difficult texts can really stretch your mind.

Because most of the people mentioned grew up in a different era, they spent a big portion of their time just reading the encyclopedia (百科全書). Many of them would eventually read every encyclopedia volume letter. These people had a strong need to learn new things.

Play-acting

At an early age, most of these people spent more time play-acting than others. Very few of these people spent their time playing organized sports---they instead were in their bedroom, backyard, or nearby park playing by themselves. 【3】

Experimenting

It is amazing how many successful people lit things on fire, blew things up, caught and studied bugs, built bird nests, and more. 【4】 And they were the ones in charge of the experiment.

Creating vs. Consuming (消費)

Watching wonderful movies, listening to music, etc. are all great ways to spend time. 【5】

Most of these successful people spent a large percentage of their time creating. They were building things, starting things, etc. This is really important.

A. Read things that challenge your thought.

B. Today it is harder to spend time creating.

C. They were letting their imagination run wild.

D. They were building, creating, viewing, and observing.

E. But they are passive --- these are consuming functions.

F. Most of these people had parents that asked them to read less.

G. I am nowhere near as successful as most of the people on this list.
