What It Means

Why It Matters
Explains why most people fail to achieve extraordinary results despite having similar capabilities
When It's True
In competitive environments where multiple people want the same outcome
When It's Risky

Example Scenario
“Two equally qualified candidates apply for dream job - one studies the company intensively and practices interview scenarios, other does basic preparation and hopes for the best.”
