“Only the mediocre are always at their best. If your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. But if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. It is okay to not win every game. The only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. Keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. If you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.” IfsTryingYearsProblemWould BeFallGamesWinningEasyGoalLossProudLowsStandardsOkayBarsBeing The BestBe ProudMediocre Author:Mike Krzyzewski

“Your peer group are people with similar dreams, goals and worldviews. They are people who will push you in exchange for being pushed, who will raise the bar and tell you the truth. They're not in your business, but they're in your shoes. Finding a peer group and working with them, intentionally and on a regular schedule, might be the single biggest boost your career can experience.” PeopleDreamMightGoalCareersGroupsFindingsRaisesShoesBarsPeersSchedulesWorldviewBoostRaising The BarPeer Group Author:Seth Godin
