(Quotes are capsules of information, reinforcement or enlightenment.)
“The reason why most people are so pathetic is that they will not take the time to develop and refine their skill. …. they sentence themselves to perpetual struggle, for their efforts are mired in the same mediocrity offered by others.
….It is important to remember that quality will always survive. If you can perform a function well, you not only have the pleasure of knowing that you’re damn good at what you do, but also you will eventually have a niche in the marketplace from which you can never be moved.”
Stuart Wilde (from his book The Trick To Money Is Having Some!)
Coaching Point: It’s not about competing against someone else. It’s only about mastering something that gives you joy.
