A few points to summarise this section...
Don't go for the "fast buck". Play the percentage game, rather
than the flashy strokes. Aim for win-win situations (not win-lose).
The key words are: drive, patience, energy, a 'can do' attitude,
efficiency and mental toughness.
Be willing to dare. 'Be bold and unseen forces come to your
aid'that is one of my favourite quotations.
Have energy, persistence, determination and singlemindedness.
N.B:
INTEGRITY towards self and others is vital.
An expectation of success - think big, but take small steps
along the way.
Eagerness, enthusiasm and the ability to make things happen
The ability to define targets and goals and have dreams
Think creatively. This is the ability to see things differently to
think new thoughts ("tink new torts").
In short,
DEVELOP YOUR THINKING SKILLS - ALL of them.
Create and seize opportunities
Take action - successful people do not stand still and expect
things to happen to them. Take one step; then the next step
will follow naturally.
Define your targets and goals, also have dreams - big ones
No success comes without ACTION and hard work. Take one
step then the next will follow naturally.
As the ancient Chinese philosopher said so wisely:
The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step (and
not a broken fan belt and flat tyre)!
Enjoy your sport... and your work (if you are a "pro" - sounds
"naughty" that!)
"It's the warmth you get in the fruit of your work or in the fruit
of your efforts"
Diane von Furstenberg, founder of a fashion, beauty and a
home building empire)
Success is a lifestyle which is normmally desired to continue.
There are always higher peaks to be conquered - in sport
and in life.
So ask yourself,
WHY NOT ME?
GOOD LUCK IN CLIMBING YOUR PERSONAL "EVEREST".
