There are three stages in life on the road to mastery of any craft: 1. Ignorance – this is the brief but enjoyable stage where the task at hand appears interesting and enjoyable. Without the confusion of knowledge, accidental competency sometimes occurs and practitioners are often able to make some early headway quite easily. At…

In life, we have an admirable tendency to conform, to seek harmony, and to build consensus. This is commendable, as we certainly don't want to intentionally cause conflict and wreak havoc. However, excellence carries with it the apparently inescapable reality of polarization. Whatever you are "for," others will be "against." In fact, the more you…

Achieving something great means going where you've never gone before. Even though much of the ground is therefore unknown to you, there is one main feature of your journey of which you should be aware in advance: the tempation to quit. I would say very confidently that anyone who has achieved greatness in any endeavor…

In our modern discourse, the word "big" is generally given a position of higher esteem than "small." With nieces and nephews arriving at their door, for instance, no distant relative ever says, "Oh, my, look how small you kids still are!" Nope.

It's your life. This statement is profound on many levels, such as: 1. you alone will be judged for how you live it 2. you alone are responsible for the results you obtain 3. you alone will be blamed for any failures. What your life is and becomes, what you contribute, who you spend time…

If you haven't noticed, we're in the Information Age. What that really means is there is too much of every kind of information: emails, texts, phone messages, instant messages, links, news, announcements, requests, solicitations, spam, social networking updates, and invites to just about anything. What this also means is that if you are joining into…
