On Being Ahead, Changing the World, and Comparison
June 16 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
When ahead at the end of the game, know this…
The opposing team needs to do two things:
- score quick
- stop the clock
Therefore, don’t:
- jump for a block or
- lunge for a steal
Play strong.
Play solid.
Play smart.
And whatever you do… Don’t. Foul.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.”
– Margaret Mead
LIFE PRINCIPLE
To improve, compare little things:
- Marketing strategies
- Exercise technique
- Writing tactics
To be miserable, compare big things:
- Career path
- Marriage
- Net worth
Comparison is the thief of joy when applied broadly, but the teacher of skills when applied narrowly.
– James Clear
