      Nobody knows why the Megalodon kept growing over evolutionary time but because of their massive size it could have made them more vulnerable to extinction                     
  • Megalodon could grow up to 60 feet (18 meters) long and had a bite more powerful than that of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
  • The sea monsters terrorized the oceans from about 16 million to 2 million years ago.
  • Though that may seem like a long reign, other shark species have survived for 50 million years
  • Bigger animals can eat a wider range of foods and be fiercer predators than their pip-squeak pals. But because they eat more types of animals they also have more competition for those animals, and the ecosystem can support a lower population density of them since they need more resources — including space — to survive. When food supplies dwindled, these giant creatures could have had a tough time finding enough food

      This source how to achieve success in 6 thoughts, is basically about ways you can become successful. I now fully understand in order to gain success you must have faith in yourself. Also you must be able to make a goal and stick to that goal. You can't doubt yourself because, thats only going to make you want to give up. The most important fact to me is that, failure is something that can be overcome. The key to overcoming failure is to "recognize your failure, identify the root and also make a plan to deal with them''. This way you won't make the same mistake twice.

      I believe no one can really get to the top by their self, you always need someone with connects. Being anti-social won't get you anywhere. Being social and kind to people will make people want to help you and see you achieve the best.
  • Competition is similar to playing a board of chess. If you lose, we can always have another round. Both players should never fight.
  • A real businessman or entrepreneur has no enemies. Once he understand this, the sky’s the limit.
  • Adopt and change before any major trends or changes.

      This source is very helpful. It basically told me the does and don'ts in the industry. In order to succeed you must have a positive attitude and be very ambitious. Also to never let failure hold you back. It should only push you harder to grind for what you want. There's always going to be someone trying to compete with you but, pay no mind to competition. However, never underestimate others just don't focus on what there doing.
