Here's your success mentor, Darin Hardy.

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and polymer.

Born way back in BC, yet we still quote his advice to this day.

His wisdom has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West.

The point is, we can readily deem him a wise, proven, and trusted expert, right?

Well, in the late 1500s, everyone believed Aristotle's claim that heavy objects fell

faster than light ones.

That is, all but one sceptic, a who the hell are you kind of dude named Galileo?

Instead of just swallowing this truth, Galileo decided to test Aristotle's claim instead.

To do that, Galileo dropped two balls of differing weights from the leaning tower of pizza.

And guess what?

They both hit the ground at the same time.

Was Galileo given a noble prize for his new scientific truth?

Nope.

For challenging Aristotle's authority, Galileo was fired from his job.

Apparently, authorities don't like their truths being questioned and most certainly

proven wrong.

But for his place in history, Galileo taught us that we shouldn't just blindly believe

what experts tell us.

But this is him is healthy.
