Wild Minds
In 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, Eluid Kipchoge, World’s best marathon runner won Gold medal in Marathon. After the run, he was in a staging room with two other runners – Bashir Abdi from Belgium and Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands— all were waiting to receive their Olympic medals after the marathon race, which Kipchoge won for the second time.
Logistics of the awards ceremony meant the runners would have to wait for several hours in a cramped, dull room with nothing to do but sit. Abdi and Nageeye later explained that they did what anyone else would do they pulled out their cell phones, found a Wi-Fi network, and scrolled social media.
Kipchoge didn’t. He just sat there, staring at the wall, in perfect silence and contentment.
“He was not Human”, Abdi joked. Abdi meant how can a person stare at wall for hours?
Some successful people with unique minds are full package. They do their task so well that we admire them and we wouldn’t see ourselves thinking of it.
Elon Musk is that ‘Wild Mind’. What kind of person is he to take on with GM, Ford, NASA at the same time? An utter Maniac.
Steve Jobs was also that ‘Wild Mind’. He not only changed technology, he actually changed future of everything.
And many more such minds…
Our normal constraints don’t apply to these people. They are determined, optimistic don’t take “NO” for an answer, and relentlessly confident in their own abilities.
Some Investors are Wild Minds. They generate extraordinarily high investment returns, but majority investors hustle in uncertainty. Even a slightest mind-set change can help investors at large extent. ‘Wild Mind’ Investors are extremely clear goal based investors, not getting into trap of obligations, staying away from gossips, tips and noise..
At Shalibhadra, we ourselves stay focused and also ask investors to stay focused. Returns are not generated through transaction but through consistency in behaviour.
