Zero points for Winning!

 Don't get into the mode of Zero-points for winning


Bill Walsh 

Score takes care of itself 

Pg.218



Get satisfaction and gratification from “small wins” - or even in defeats

Look for metrics that are growing

And improving and take pride in that 

This is very important!


If you take pride only in that “big-win” - it becomes Cocaine

No longer the big win excites you as much

You look for an even bigger win

Or next big win

Current win does not count! 

Zero points for winning! 


Victory just means delay of Failure …Bill Walsh! 


Winning, Winning , Winning …is not always a solution

Because you are just delaying the Failure

Pursuit of prize becomes an exacting exercise - expectations unattainable

And then profession you loved - all your life

Becomes unenjoyable and unendurable! 


And then when you cannot win even when you win

Then comes a point, when you cannot see pint in continuing!

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett      

Repeat the Basics!

When you repeat the basics You don't only become great - you will stay great! -Darius Foroux Repeat 🔂 the basics of many things in your Life: 1. Fitness - Walking  2. Philosophy - read your favorite Author - everyday! 3. Kindness - random act of giving  4. Business -  What is the purpose of business? 5. Writing  -  Read the "The Elements of Style - Strunk & White"  Its very simple : Figure out the basics of the given field : 5-6 principles And repeat them day after day Back to the Basics! If you do so , you will lead a life with chronic White-belt mentality 😅 leading to Humility  even if your performance is that of a Master Black-belt! If you do so,  you not only become an expert of the field you will stay as one!
