Character Differentiates the Champion

Character Differentiates the Champion

“Ability may take you to the top,

but it takes character to keep you there.”

John Wooden 1910 - 2010, American Basketball Player

and Coach   

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Character differentiates the champion

Champions separate themselves in their profession from the masses. A champion wants to standout above the crowd and they will look for . . . . and find degrees of separation that will propel them to the top of their field . . . . and keep them there.

A champion’s goal is not only to get to the top of the mountain but once they get there is to stay there. They will look for ways to create a cutting edge advantages that will keep them at the top of their profession.

To have a successful and study climb to the top mountain a champion has a vision . . . . goals . . . . a plan . . . . and endurance to achieve their objectives. To stay at the top of their profession a champion has to have character.

When you look at politicians . . . . entertainers . . . . and professional athletes that reach the top of their profession then you see them fall from the top of their profession. Far too many times their fall from grace is result of them compromising their character.

It takes hard work and dedication to become a leader in your chosen profession and it take even harder work to stay at the top.

Character differentiates the champion, It takes character to succeed and to get to the top of your professional . . . . and it takes character to keep you at the top.

Decide on Your Goals

Decide on Your Goals

“The most important key to achieving great success

is to decide upon your goal

and launch, get started, take action, move.”

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Decide on your goals

Decide on your goals . . . . and get out of the starting block . . . . to successful achieve them.

A goal not acted on has very little value . . . . or no value to the person with the goals.

Having a goal that’s not acted on is a lot like watching the race of your life passing you by, while you’re standing in the starting block. To bring value to your goals you have decide on your goals and get out of the staring block.  And take action on your goals to move you in the direction to achieve them.

In the simple act of acting on your goals will create enormous forward momentum to change the course of your life . . . . and achieve your goals.

There is an old saying that nothing happen until you make it happen. Your goals will only remain a hope in your heart until you act on them and push forward to make them become a reality.

Take control of your life . . . . your goals . . . . and act on them. Take control of your future . . . . and your destiny.

Decide on your goals . . . . and get out of the starting block to create the forward momentum in the direction of your goals.

Failure is Not Fatal

Motivational Power Quote


Failure is Not Fatal


“Failure is not fatal,
but failure to change might be.”
John Wooden, basketball coach


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Failure is not fatal.

Some of the most successful people that have experienced great failure achieved their greatest successes of they overcame the failure.

Thomas Edison found 10,000 ways that a light bulb would not work, before he invented the light bulb.

Colonial Sanders made 1000 calls to sell his chicken recipe before someone agreed to paid to use the chicken recipe.

Michael Jordan was cut from this high school basketball team. He went on to become one of the all time great NBA players and a member of the NBA Hall of Fame.

Steven Spielberg was rejected by UCLA film school, become an award winning director.

Failure is not fatal its part of our learning process. The only time failure becomes fatal is when we decide not to change or adjust and not to continue to pursue our goals.
