Strive to be the best in your
chosen field of endeavor. This is a very challenging,
motivating,
and empowering
vision you can have for yourself.
You can can succeed at anything
for which you have a
noble vision and
unlimited
enthusiasm.
Challenge assumptions and the status quo.
Don’t set up any
limitations on your abilities in your mind. Adopt a
positive attitude. The difference between
winners and
losers is not a lack
of knowledge or strength, but rather a lack of belief and determination to
win. Losers are quitters. Winners don’t quit.
People,
who
→
achieve their
big dreams, do great things, and
win
in life and business are those
who keep trying. They realize that
→
failure is a part of winning. Instead of
letting setbacks knock them off course,
→
winners learn from failures and
start again wiser.

Skills
Knowledge and ideas are the starting point. You need execution
skills to
turn your ideas into reality. “A winner is someone who recognizes his
God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills and uses
these skills to accomplish his goals,” said Larry Bird.
Set
stretch goals
and develop skills to achieve those goals. It is actually a virtuous circle.
The more skills you acquire the higher you set your next
→
stretch goal. The
higher is your new stretch goal, the more new skills you develop to achieve
it. And so on.
No new knowledge is wasted in this quest. As Mark Van Doren
put it, “Any piece of knowledge I acquire today has a value at this moment
exactly proportional to my skill to deal with it. Tomorrow, when I know
more, I recall that piece of knowledge and use it better.”
"When
a man has put a limit on what he will do, he has put a limit on what he can
do." ~
Charles Schwab
"Great
ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment."
~ Baltasar Gracián
"Ability
can take you to the top, but it takes
character to keep you there."
~ Zig Ziglar |
