are they mediocre aspirations.They want to be presidents, doctors,
astronauts, scientists, and so on. They’re on the right track and have
the right mindset. If you need to, bring yourself back to when you
had high achievement as a goal. Not everyone can be the world
champion at something, but you can strive to be the best you can
be. That’s the first step—and a daily responsibility.
Champions go the extra mile. We all know when we’ve done
just enough and when we’ve really exerted ourselves. Make an ef-
fort to exert yourself—every day. Don’t fail because you never al-
lowed yourself to get started! Don’t avoid success because you
think the responsibility might be too much—just focus and get
going! You’d be surprised at what intelligent effort can produce.
Alexander Graham Bell said something that I always remember:
“Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s
rays do not burn until brought to a focus.” Pay attention to these
things and you will be on your way to thinking like a champion—
and becoming one.
THINK LIKE A CHAMPION
