I'm sure you've noticed, in our celebrity obsessed culture, that we're constantly watching these people walk down the red carpet at some gala. Or at an awards show. Or at some premire, charity event, convention, or other public venue.
You ever notice what these people are not doing? They're not at home watching TV! They may be on the television but very few ever watch it! That's how most of them became so successful - they got up and went out to grab what they wanted. I'm sure that hard work was true in every case...well, I suppose we can take those Jersery Shore, Teen Mom, and other reality show "stars" off the list.
What I'm trying to get at is no one sees the years of hard work that leads up to being an overnight sensation. No one sees the countless hours of throwing a football by the star quarterback. No one talks about the hockey superstar who spent years on the ice after the rink closed to practice. No one mentions the hours and nights spent in class, on the field, in the studio. Its these little things no one sees or talks about that leads to success, wealth, stardom, etc.
They weren't watching hours of television everyday. They were up and out.
They weren't idle!
