Some people may look at a.d.d. as a curse, but for me it's one of the most powerful tools you should use and not suppress....

From looking out the window at school or watching the clock at work, you people know who you are.  A.D.D. should not hold you back from succeeding only accelerate it.  If you can relate, have you ever noticed that when you like something you tend to focus on it like any day it will vanish?  Maybe you picked up three oranges one day and tried to juggle, and all of a sudden you want to be a pro juggler.  3 days later you buy professional balls and 3 weeks later you've learned 90% of all juggling.


Something that may take years for other people to accomplish.  This is called "hyper-focusing" , and if you have the slightest bit of a.d.d. this can be trained to separate you from the crowd.  After all some very interesting people have or had A.D.D.... let's take a look shale we

pheww! That is a a lot of people!

In fact America was built on people with a.d.d. and curiosity not people working 9-5.  Our founder's and all the people who choose to be an entrepreneur have some trace of a.d.d.. Use your hyper focus and kill procrastination by setting deadline's.  Who knows you could be the next Michael Phelps or Albert Einstein.  If you are still in your 9-5 counting paper clips and smoking excessively you need to do something about it.  Don't let the doctors turn you into a zombie, instead  self medicate. Fulfill the hunger for adrenaline, creativity or anything else your body is asking for. Most of the people on this list have lived 30 normal peoples lives in 30 years, so it must be a gift!
