THINK LIKE A CHAMPION
after you did that, what would be next on your list? I call that
multithinking versus multitasking. Most people have at least
a few things they want to do. Sometimes one thing leads to
another—that’s a form of discovery. Discovery breeds discovery, as
in success breeds success. Quest-ions are thoughts with a quest.
Can you guess what the quest is? Knowledge. Knowledge is
power. That’s one reason you’re reading this essay. No one is born
a know-it-all. Wouldn’t that be a little boring? I think it might be.
Fortunately, at this time in history, things are moving so quickly
that no one has the right to boredom. Just keeping up is the chal-
lenge we all have today. I like that challenge, because a challenge
equals a success just waiting to happen.
Let’s end this with a few good questions: What lies behind
you? (What are your life experiences and education up to this
point?) What lies before you? (What are your goals, your plans,
your aspirations?)What lies within you? (Do you have what it takes
to succeed? Do you know the full extent of your abilities yet? Do
you know what the future holds for you? Do you know how your
dreams will evolve?) Let’s admit it—life is full of mystery.That in-
cludes your life, which is no tiny matter. So don’t sell yourself short
on something that important. Today is just the beginning.
