Success Startegy for the Average Performers | Faiz Fablillah | TEDxASOIU


as you know that I will be speaking in
English and I’ll try to use a simple
word so that you can understand and I
can deliver it better I’m sure the
majority of us here have watched the
Super Heroes movies or cartoon when we
will little and we’re still enjoying it
watching it even until today I’m sure
also 10 years down the road the same
superheroes cartoon and movie will be
shown to our little brothers and sisters
and and they are going to enjoy as well
and I’m sure also before we were born or
before you’re here today our fathers
than our mothers have also watched
something like this during that time and
and this will be always in our society
for a long time ok so meaning to say
that we are acknowledging the presence
of the superheroes in our society and we
value whatever the superheroes
characters are ok I’m trying to actually
relate it to the decision-making that we
do in terms of life process meaning to
say that how is it the superheroes idea
affect our decision making and if they
our values in terms of understanding the
success and the failure of life ok so
now we have the motivational speech I’m
sure also the majority of hers have
heard motivational speaks and also the
speakers are telling us to do
extraordinary things in order to achieve
extraordinary result right so we have
this idea that the successful the
success and the extraordinary result can
only be achieved if we do certain
extraordinary things right like for
example that we have to work hard
we have to have less sleep we can enjoy
we can’t have fun because we have to
always work so this is the generally the
idea that we have when we listen to the
motivational speak speakers and this is
the idea that they always tell us why
I’m saying is that in reality okay we do
have downtime in our life meaning to say
that always days that we always feel
that lazy to do any anything we just
don’t want to read books we just don’t
want to study and that’s okay because
because why I will tell you why and and
and and and that’s why in a way the
whatever we hear in the motivational
speeches is it’s not applicable to us
because we can’t always work hard all
the time right okay so this is the photo
of a man trying to conquer the world
sort of like this is me and this is the
world and and I’m going to go against
everybody in the world okay so this is
the idea that that s being told to us
that in order for us to achieve success
that we have to work hard and if you
look at these pitches I feel stressful
myself like sort of telling me that ok
this is I’m alone and this is everybody
and I just I have to go against
everybody in order for me to achieve
something in life basically this is what
the picture is telling right right ok
this is the other side is your dream and
this is you and you have to cross the
river to go to the other side which is
sort of like very impossible but what we
are told in the inner whatever
self-improvement books that we read okay
but you have to do it you if you want to
go to the other side I have to really
jump and swim and go to the other side
you just have to do it so this is what
we usually found in the self-improvement
book that we have to improve our self
but what I’m saying is that it’s not
it’s not like we cannot work hard it’s
not like that is
like we cannot have extraordinary goals
but if we achieve extraordinary result
that’s okay because we we are just human
okay let me tell you why ok so in school
you learn statistic right and this is
bell curve I’m sure most of you are very
familiar with this this is called bell
curve what is showing in this graph is
that sixty-eight percent of his meaning
to say the majority of us are just
average okay what the media is showing
you or what the popular people are here
the high-performance sixteen percent if
I mention a few popular people you
definitely know and but but most of the
time they are here okay if I mentioned
to you the founder of Facebook for
example you know you don’t him right the
big tech startup founders if I mentioned
your name you know but the thing is they
are here there are high performer people
but most of us including myself is just
the average performance okay average
performance just do the average thing
okay we don’t do the high performance
thing and then that’s okay we have to
accept it okay if you are if you average
performance you have to accept the fact
that you are just average this number
one this number one the key number one
that you have to adopt okay before you
think of doing anything with your life
okay what I’m saying is that sixty-eight
percent of us are just average and
that’s okay okay what the media is
showing us is sixteen percent and you
see the you know such as messy for
example it he play very good football
because he’s high performer and and then
we have to acknowledge it can you play
football like Messi anybody can be as
good as messy here now you know messy
right yeah but ok but it’s okay are you
going to be hit yourself because you
can’t be messy no I don’t hate myself
because I don’t
uh I’m not Matthew Cuthbert no I don’t
hate myself I set myself that I’m just
average performance though so that’s why
what I’m telling you today is that we
need to adopt a strategy how can we
achieve Massey’s result but but no need
to be a messy how can average
performance achieve high performance
result by just doing average people
routine how do we do that because ok now
we understand that we just average
performance ok we accept that but
definitely some of you you are very very
good people i mean how most people i’m
sure they exist somewhere but most
office our average ok you’ll get the
idea i keep your pity on this value get
idea all right ok this is the perfect
example of average people adopting
strategy to win or to get the high
performance result in Olympic Rio 2016
there is a one shocking moment where by
the Japanese team won the silver medal
during four-by-four really this theme
the Japanese people they beat the usual
well-known teams such as America team
Brazilian and am I think Brazilian one
number one but the second place is a
Japanese but the Japanese bit more
countries such as a Europe countries
Britain USA and those countries I always
win the medal ok this is very shocking a
moment during all imperio 2016 because
nobody thought that these people
actually won the middle ok by definition
the result that they achieve is very
high-performing result right but they
are just average people how do they do
that you know asian people i mean we are
i don’t know i think i mentioned we
don’t win a lot of medals but deppen is
proven that they can achieve something
by adopting
a simple strategy which is they work in
a theme okay for us to achieve
extraordinary result we have to adopt
strategy within ourselves within the
average performance people and work
together learn the skill and then we
will get the extraordinary result like
the Japanese to what so what I did is in
the four-by-four le they start they
study how to pass the baton faster than
the rest they study everything with the
study every little tea how can they work
in a team better okay how can how can I
not think just about myself by ready I
put the values I put the work on
understanding how to work in a team
better ok this is the strategy that you
have to think let me bring you to the
simple analogy of life here oops alright
so imagine that you are there and the
success is the on the other side is
always the case like that you are not
not all of us are born here getting the
success straightaway because because the
success is on the other side of the of
the resistance the success is here and
you are there in order for you to get
here what do you do what do you need to
do you need to break the resistance
right you need to break it in order to
achieve the success which is on the
other side ok so just now I say that if
you have this mentality that that then i
would i would do it I can do it alone I
work hard I will work hard and then and
then I would just you know try all the
time to break this resistant and one day
I will get a success i will achieve this
I said I would get the result that I
want so you you continuously thing on
how can I do it and then what should I
read and then how hard I should work how
much time I have to spend in a day in
order for me to achieve my dream and my
goals this is the old way of thinking
for you ok but today
going to tell you that it’s not just the
only way and it’s probably not feasible
way for most of us why just like I said
because we are just average then you see
if for example if I thing like this I
want to train 16 hours playing football
because I want to be messy do you think
that is possible I don’t think so
because we are just average I’m just not
messy okay so you have to think like
that of course they are resistance of
course there are things that I have to
go through before I achieve certain
thing but the point here is that it’s
not just the way okay there are other
way that is more feasible which is this
look simple you probably know about it
but like i said is it’s very know not
many people talk about it in depth okay
this is three people working together
learning the skill how to work better in
a team and do you think that these three
people will break the resistance easier
than the just one people of course right
because three people one person may have
advantage in certain area and he has
weakness in certain area the other one
has advantage in other certain area and
disadvantaged and other certain area so
when three people are a team comes
together is very feasible em to break
the resistant the life resistant and
achieve success okay because the success
the way I define the winning strategies
for the average performance is you still
have to work hard there’s no doubt about
it everybody here and you want to
achieve success you must work hard no
doubt no question you must sleep less no
doubt no question people who sleep more
10 hours per day and people who only
sleep treat four hours a day because
they want to understand a certain
concept or theory definitely that person
will be on
Vantage will be advanced okay so no
doubt that you have to work hard not
that also you have to work smart and
then you have you always learned this in
school that people told you to work
smart because why because working smart
will save you a lot of time it will save
you energy it will save you time you
also tell you how to manage stress for
example so these things require
intelligent so working smart is also in
the equation here okay but for you to
achieve the goal and dreams you have to
have these two but you have to work in a
team again because most of us are just
average we have weaknesses and we have
advantage so it by working in a theme
you sort of combine everything at one
place and and and therefore you use you
always think in all ways this idea that
we go as a team because because the
success that you have to the journey
that you have to end all is long journey
so by working in a theme it’s easier and
feasible to achieve the success so this
is the winning circuit that you have to
adopt this is also a quote that you
always hear the success is a marathon
not a sprint so what does it mean
actually what is the difference between
marathon and sprint the marathon means
that you have to end or a long journey
it’s 40 kilometers is why the spin is
just hundred meter is very short okay I
can I think I can run hundred meter and
we’ll hard on myself to just go finish
100 meter but if i know that i will just
I have to go 40 kilometers is matter if
I think like this I think that if I work
with a guy big icy guy d guy and tim i
will probably just have to finish one
kilometer and the other guy have to
finish one kilometer and high 40 guys in
my team we will finish 40 kilometer
faster there are person we just work
alone
so this is also affect success is like
that okay the journey for you to achieve
success is a marathon not a sprint so if
there is one thing you learn from me
today is this first of all know yourself
accept the reality if you think that ok
I can solve math question without using
calculator so you’re smart you know that
then that’s ok if you want to go alone
go ahead ok but if you want to if you
want to solve the calculus problems but
unique calculator unit pen unique bush
unit reference then that probably mean
that you are average yes ok so that
number one is you have to accept the
fact that you are average then you start
to form alive you’d start to find your
your friends who can help you in certain
things and and a makeup and Ally you
know you have to talk to people and ok I
have a problem in this I think you are
more suitable in this form the alli from
the team and don’t go alone because why
because we are not superheroes so women
yes he can go along because he
superheroes you know he’s probably like
God you know to masa first because he’s
superior than we are not thank you very
much
