  • Stay Humble

    Stay Humble

    When you inevitably experience triumph and success in your life, it’s so tempting for it to go to your head. This can manifest in very obvious ways, or it can also be very subtle. You have to protect against confidence from past successes spilling over into cockiness. There’s always someone out there who is better than you so stay humble and realize that, more often than not, you aren’t as good as you think you are. Supreme confidence is great. Cockiness is a big turnoff to everyone around you.

    Virtue: Humility

  • If you want respect, carry yourself in a way that commands it.

    If you want respect, carry yourself in a way that commands it.

    Respect isn’t easily or quickly given to you. You earn it by the way you carry yourself. This includes your confidence, demeanor, attitude, and approach to life.

    Dress for success.

  • Defining Moments

    Defining Moments

    There are moments in life that define who you are and what you’ll become. Either you define the moment or the moment defines you.

    “I hit it again because that shot was a defining moment, and when a defining moment comes along, you define the moment… or the moment defines you.”

  • The Last Inch of Us

    The Last Inch of Us

    “Last inch” of integrity. It’s easy to do the right thing when it doesn’t cost you anything. The real test is when you have to sacrifice.

    You will never regret going the extra mile or doing the right thing. You’ll always regret selling yourself short if you do, and that moment of weakness will lead to a lifetime of regret.

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!” name=”Rudyard Kipling”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
