“Be The Best – At Everything You Do” Every single time I’ve said this to someone, they come back with an argument: “But how can I be the best in the world at everything? Or even anything?” I then explain and clarify: “I never said ‘best in the world’. I only said ‘be the best’.“ So, what’s the difference? One is comparing yourself with everyone else in your universe, and engaging in a futile struggle to be ‘better’ than them. The other is only looking within yourself – and asking “Did I give it my all? Could I have done more?” Look, in the ultimate analysis, there is only so much you, me, or anybody else can do. We all come with our built-in limitations, restrictions and boundaries. No matter how eager and determined he is, a man without legs cannot win the world high jump competition, and a lady without eyesight can’t shoot brilliant world-class photographs. But d’you know what matters? Not that you do better than everyone else, but that you do as best as YOU can. And that’s within reach of every single one of us. ———————————————————————————— When Being Merely Ok Is Enough: How many times has this happened to you before? You hardly prepare for a test, but score the highest in your class – because the others studied even less than you. You delivered a barely adequate project, but were warmly praised by the boss – because the others were not even on schedule. You uploaded a bare-bones draft of your new e-book, spelling and grammar mistakes galore, just because you were too bored to correct and edit it – and still made a barrel-load of sales. We have all experienced situations where simply being “good enough is good enough”. And, sadly, many of us have settled for that norm. Why strive for excellence when ‘barely good’ is more than sufficient? Children adopt this paradigm at school. In order to pass, students only need 50%, meaning they can get half of the work wrong and still win. This attitude transfers into adulthood at work. And many of us do even around the house, or in our family lives.
