“Success in any endeavor requires single-minded attention to detail and total concentration.”
Willie Sutton
(Professional Bank Robber)*
*You may be wondering how a bank robber that was caught (as implied by the above picture) could be giving advice on success...I mean, he was caught...right? Well, after being arrested, Willie would immediately begin planning his escape and fully concentrate on the task until his goal was accomplished. After being sent to prison for his last long stretch, Willie spent 10 years studying the law and working on his appeal. After a decade in prison, and after his appellate lawyers gave up and said it was a lost cause, Willie was able to launch a successful appeal and get acquitted. Now that is "single-minded attention to detail and total concentration."
