4 Important Lessons to Learn from the Deadly Predators



Predators, statistically, succeed only once out of every 20 hardworking hunting attempts at killing their prey. That's what I have learned from a program on Animal Planet TV channel the other day.

Those animals, winning over the pains and agonies of so many futile attempts, never get tired until making it happen.  

Well, for them, it's a matter of survival and they have to succeed to remain alive. For us, mediocrity ensures stability and the road to extra-ordinary success is full of risks and uncertainties.

So, we prefer not take risks and remain ordinary!

Can't we raise our benchmark of success beyond conventional limit? Can't we learn from those predators the art and science of making a big kill in life. Can't go all out to race past the security level of a stable life?

I think we can, if we wish to!

But thinking big alone may not help, as we need to prepare ourselves for the success in hunting game. Because, it's not persistence alone that helps predators achieve their success but, in addition to that, a unique combination of using the right skills and applying an appropriate hunting strategy.

In my opinion, 4 most important lessons that we can learn from the predators for making it happen in our life are: 

1. Appetite for achieving difficult objectives.

2. Zeal for continuously upgrading the knowledge base.

3. Ability to win over the frustration of repeated failure and,

4. Designing an appropriate long term strategy.

Please share, if you think that there are a few more winning strategies we must learn from the predators for transforming our existence into extraordinary-ship?
