64 - We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit - Artistotle.
Success is not an event, It is an ongoing process in. time and time again. Aristotle says it in a profound way, Anyone can succedd once or twice. And, anyone can fail or lose a battle or two along the way. What we must focus on is the habit of excellence, practicing success, repeatedly, day after day.
65 - A man who has to be convinced to act before he acts is not a man of action - Georges Clemenceau
I can easily lose patience with people whom I continually have to persuade before they will make a move. people of action don't need a pop talk every time their organization needs to take a risk, I'm not suggesting we don't plan, but men of action often embrace the method that Tom Peters made popular: " Ready. Fire. Aim"
66 - A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turnhis back on the crowd - Stephen Jobs
This little word picture is pregnant with meaning. If a man wants to lead the orchestra, he must first make a solitray decision. He cannot drift along with the crowd, nor can he pay attention to the crowd's response to his leading. He must remain focused, and be willing to stand alone. He must give himself to the few who are cooperating with him, not the masses who are looking on. finally, even if he yerans for the crowd's applause, that cannot be his goal, His goal must be a lead his orchestra with excellence. The applause ia a by - product
