It’s your perception that there are 7 billion people in your demographic, against whom, your success should be compared?
It’s funny, the little niche of the car world that I play in, specifically half mile airstrip races, there are all these ‘micro-world records’ where people will artificially create a car class, then set the ‘world record time’ and go on about how “I have the worlds fastest 997 series Porche 911”
not ‘I have the worlds fastest Porsche’….I have the worlds fastest Porche 911 Turbo non-S built between 2009 and 2013’.
you might say they are comparing themselves to the ‘right demographic’….I find all that a bit silly.
I’m pretty sure I have the fastest Porsche Cabriolet from any generation in the world….but unless I have the fastest Porsche in the world you won’t hear me saying I have the fastest 991.1 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet in the world.
neither will you hear me saying something like: ‘In the metrics of total Client ROI on completed projects, jobs saved, cash collected per project, and successful turnarounds I’m the top Caucasian male Business Strategist aged 45 to 55 in the United States from the years 2012 to present servings small and mid-sized companies, and the metrics I put up in that demographic are 6 times the industry average and double the next closest competitor.
seems kinda silly….
also, for the record, I wasn’t comparing myself to any demographic, I said there might be 50k people in the world that are dominating a field the way I dominate mine, and who actualize an outlier vision within their field of play, that maybe there are 10k that have done the same thing as well as Endo, but only a handful, less than 10 that have done so as well as Musk.
I was pointing to the pretty incredible accomplishments of Musk….not inviting a critique of my assessment of my job performance ;-)
