All of us operate from our personal perspectives, which include prejudices and other self-limiting beliefs, even people who are very successful. But how are some people consistently able to stay on the cutting edge, people like Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett and Oprah Winfrey. The answer may lie in that their unique perspectives are fueled by many things, including an open-minded outlook towards life, the world and work; curiosity, and a high level of confidence, and determination. They may be risk-takers, but what’s more important to ascertain is how they view risks. It’s highly possible that they view risks as status quo, which they cannot tolerate. They may have a natural ability to view regular day-to-day activities in a way that is completely different from how they are viewed by most people.
