Cheat sheet to be "simply the best, better than all the rest"
10:36 PMI bet there is not a single ear here who hasn't heard about Tina Turner and her famous "Simply the best". Who is this lady who seems to have figured it all out? Someone who's got 11 Grammys.
However, for me, she's got 3 things: killer voice, killer legs and well, killer horse.
Killer voice ...to kill a mockingbird
While not all of us dare to sing in public, all of us have a voice. It's about time we stop looking for the ultimate wisdom our voice should spread. Use your voice when you interact with others, and also when you interact with yourself.
Tell others your ideas, your comments, your worries.What you know plus what the other person knows might lead to interesting discussions. Why do you think TED is so popular? Because people tell what they think, what they do. You are not TED material maybe, but then again, you are not expected to talk on a stage.
Have regular conversations with yourself. Tell yourself what you are grateful for, what you are missing. That's the only way to know which way to move, evolve and grow as person and professional.
Walk the walk
To say is one thing, and to do is just the next natural step. It's not enough to just talk and dream. Take action. Connect the dots between where you are and where you want to be. Even if you don't get there, at least you are not stuck on the start position. Be persistent.
Imagine you are playing a board game, and throughout the whole game you are stuck in the start position. How happy were you to move just one position?
Complete the puzzle
Sometimes, talking and doing is not enough. That is why it's important to have the right context. If you remember Tina, we're talking about the horse now.
When the environment is complementing what we want to achieve, it makes our task easier. And we are more motivated. So, look for your right horse and make the most out of your ride.
Next, shall we talk about Dolly Parton's 9 to 5?
