EVIDENCE: MODELING EXCELLENCE

For this composition, I decided to get information about 3 achievers and successful that inspires
me to fulfill all my dreams and move forward, to have a life full of achievements and happiness.
Jurgen Klaric CEO of Mind code International, an expert in cultural anthropology and
neuromarketing, a discipline that studies the consumer's mind based on a practical scientific
approach. He is considered one of the ten most influential marketers in the world. Bill Gates,
American businessman, computer scientist and philanthropist, co-founder of the software
company Microsoft, producer of Windows, the most widely used computer operating system in
the world. On April 4, 1975, he created this company, while still a student at Harvard University.
Mariana Pajón, a high-performance athlete from Antioquia, has been working for more than 20
years in BMX - a discipline of cycling and extreme sport practiced with cross bikes with 20-inch
diameter wheels - in race mode.

Jurgen Klaric says that to achieve success you must set goals and objectives, he too, prioritizes and
focuses on what is most important, finishes what he starts, reads and learns every day, saves and
invests, gives without expecting anything in return, Maintains a positive attitude, Jurgen also says
that an important point is to take care of physical and mental health, it is essential to surround
yourself with successful people, get out of your comfort zone and take action. For him, routines
only stop us and do not let us try new things, therefore, he does not follow a daily routine. Every
day is different, but following these habits all the time. Bill Gates starts his day eating his favorite
cereal, but sometimes he does not have an established routine either so he does not eat breakfast
or is at home, but, he exercises, he checks the headlines in different newspapers every morning,
his schedule is divided into intervals of 5 minutes, every moment is carefully planned. It's a busy
routine, but the billionaire keeps track of his plans and ideas by taking notes. Gates is also a
voracious and famous reader, and he always sets aside some time to read books. While spending
time with his family is Gates' favorite pastime, he also enjoys playing bridge on the weekends, and
when it is time for bed, Gates makes sure to arrive early enough to get seven hours of sleep.
Mariana Pajón said that in her daily routine there are not only physical exercises, because she
always trains her mind. “In being aware of the thoughts, in not taking anything personally, in
giving one hundred percent, always; in concentrating on competition, in knowing how to act under
pressure, in how to beat your nerves and put them in your favor. Anyway…”, explained Mariana.
Her routine begins with a rich paisa breakfast, she is disciplined, she trains 3 hours in the morning,
has lunch, trains 4 hours in the afternoon and emphasizes that she goes to bed early, to start the
next day with courage and strength. He goes 3 or 4 times a week to see his psychologist.

In my case, like Jurgen, I also believe that to achieve success and triumphs in life we must set goals
and objectives, I also finish what I start, I do not like to read very much, I am not very good at
saving either. The 3 characters constantly exercise, it is an important part of their routine,
especially in Mariana's because she is an athlete, I am not a very good athlete, nor do I exercise a
lot. But, it's something I want to start doing for my health. Me too, I have a full routine like Bill
Gates, I usually have a lot of work, but I am not very organized like him, I do not take notes or
notes of my day. It is something that I would also like to start doing. I also like to read how this
billionaire does; each book is a new world. I love spending time with my family and I also go to bed
early when I can. Jurgen, like Mariana, talk about the importance of mental health and training the
mind, I also agree with this point, to achieve goals it is important to be clear about what we want
and where we want to go.
