How Good Do You Want to Be?

佚名 / Anonymous

All of us want to be good at our jobs, but how good do we really want to be?

Quite good. Good. Very good. The best in your field. Or the best in the world?

Talent helps, but it won't take you as far as ambition. Everybody wants to be good, but not many are prepared to make the sacrifices it takes to be great. To many people, being nice in order to be liked is more important. There's equal merit in that, but you must not confuse being good with being liked.

Most people are looking for a solution, a way to become good. There is no instant solution, and the only way to learn is through experience and mistakes.

You will become whoever you want to be. You can achieve the unachievable. Firstly you need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You must develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. Try to do the things that you’re incapable of.

If you think you’re unable to work for the best company in its sphere, make that your aim.

If you think you’re incapable of running a company, make that your aim.

If you think you’re unable to be on the cover of Time magazine, make it your business to be there.

Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible.

每個人都希望出色地完成工作,但是,我們到底希望做得有多好呢?

很好!不錯!十分不錯!做你所在行業領域的佼佼者。還是做世界之最呢?

天賦隻能輔助於你,但它不能與野心一起馳騁。人人都想成就優秀,但是很少人準備為偉大作出犧牲。對許多人來說,為了受人喜愛而行善更加重要。盡管價值是相同的,但是切勿將其與做好人而受人愛戴混為一談。

大多人正在尋找一種解決的方案,尋找一條成就優秀的道路。這條路上沒有捷徑,學習的唯一方法就是通過體驗與犯錯積累。
