When it comes to determining the possibility of excellence from an individual, a simple formula can be applied to predict their future contributions. The three elements are:

Performance
Effort
Passion 

The aphorism "past performance predicts future behaviors" has been used so often it's sometimes dismissed as cliche'. However, when each of the elements above are align correctly, the formula reveals a simple truth and clarity:

Performance = Effort + Passion

Effort can be deconstructed, categorized an easily assessed based on the degree of exertion, energy, work, labor, power, muscle, toil, or strain applied to the task.

Passion can more easily be determined by the degree of preference, partiality, or emotional investment associated with the task.

Performance is simply a culmination of effort and passion, which has been demonstrated to contribute to ability. Simply put "It is what it is" (Tweet this)

More than a Metaphor

We are more than the sum of our circumstances. E. Matthews

by Tony Waghorn - theeruditefrog

Isn't it interesting that a simple metaphor can evoke a number of ideas within us that moves us, intrigues us, and impacts the way we think? A positive aspect of a common aphorism is that when we consider, even if only for a moment or two, a possible meaning beyond the words, we will realize that our lives were meant to be much more than what we see every day. Circumstances can build, bend, or break a weak spirit, and what's amazing is we have 100% control as to how we allow our present circumstances to impact our future. So the question becomes, 'now that you know that...what are you going to do about it?
