Are you looking for ways to unlock your inner potential? Are there people in your vicinity who you really envy? Are you looking for knowledge on how to be the best version of yourself? A HIGH-PERFORMANCE PERSON is a person who goes ahead and does what the situation requires without wasting time, without lingering in uncertainty. The word performance here is not to be understood in the idiom 'plays the fool': this means playing to amuse oneself, and is, as it happens, another definition of the word fool. It’s important to understand that a High-Performer always takes what he is given and always gives his very best. That is, his best, insofar as he knows what that is. And this, too, brings to mind the meaning of the word player in the sport known as playing-following-action. A High-Performer knows that there is always an unknown factor, and that what is called the unknown factor is just a matter of, again, PLAYING FOLLOWING ACTION. He knows that to do anything less is not, the word performance here is not, the word way. A High-Performer does not go back and do over and waste time. He knows it is best to go ahead and DO IT, trusting to the mysterious wiles of chance and luck. In this business, playing is a very serious thing. You must always be ready to take on a new challenge and move on, to change gears as soon as you see a curve that you can’t handle. As you get older, you will find yourself showing your age more often, striving for some sort of consistency of style and performance, for the moment when a routine makes up for an old pair of shoes. This is an incorrect assumption. There never is a 'right' time to move on to something better. A HIGH-PERFORMER KNOWS that getting older does not mean riding around in a rocking chair. You may be old and doing the same set of things, but you are always moving and always striving to change. You cannot be satisfied doing one thing. You cannot feel secure in doing one thing. You must strive to know better, not to DO better. This Book Covers: What is a High-Performance Person?
