Rule of Ten

The Rule of Ten

The rule of ten
This applies to so many aspects
Of life

It goes like this
For every 100 people
Who wants to write a novel
Ten will finish it

Of those ten
Ten percent
will publish it

Of those ten
Ten percent
will make some money

Of those ten
Ten percent
will make a living

Of those ten
Ten percent
will be a best-seller

In other words
In a land of 350 million people
There are probably only 3,500
bestselling authors

the rule of ten applies
to the drama world
only 2 percent make a living
full-time as an actor

of the thousands of actors
only a few movie stars

to the music world
of the thousands of musicians
only a few superstars

modeling – only a few supermodels

to sports only a few hundred NFL players
out of millions
who played the game

to politics only one president
out of thousands
who want to be

the rule of ten applies
to life in general

most people fail
in achieving their life goals
but one should not give up

because who knows
you could be the one
who wins in the end
despite the rule of ten.
