I say luck is when an opportunity
comes
Along and you’re prepared for it.
- Denzel Washington
Your attitude is like a box of
crayons
That colors your world.
Constantly color your picture gray,
And your picture will always be
bleak.
Try adding some bright colors to the
Picture by including humor,
and your picture begins to lighten up.
- Allen Klein
This idea of Competitive Greatness
and playing
The best isn’t about winning or
losing.
It’s about your character.
Are you someone who wants your
victories easy?
Quick and simple?
Sports, politics, and business are
littered with men
And women who didn’t have to work
hard for their
Victories and struggled to
maintain success.
It’s the rare exception that
proves the rule.
I’m trying to teach my son this
lesson right now.
His teacher assigned him a reading
challenge to
Read a certain number of books in
a set amount of time.
My goal is to help and challenge
him to up the ante,
Tackling more challenging reading
material so that
We benefit his mind as well as
make the victory in
The end so much sweeter.
Look closely at your career and
your business.
Have you shied away from a tough
road in favor of an
Easier path?
Maybe it’s time to toughen up and
fight a good fight.
Maybe you’ll take some lumps along
the way,
And maybe you will fail, but the
experience will hone
Your character and make you a
better competitor.
Over time, if you persist, you’ll
be on your personal
Path to Greatness!
- Don Yaeger
