start the day. When I learn, it makes me feel great, alive, and
excited—it makes me want to learn more. As a result, I’m never
bored, which I think is a big reason for my success.
Never think of learning as a burden or a chore. It may
require some discipline, but it can be a stimulating and exciting
adventure.

• Become a perpetual student; gobble up information on
many subjects.

• Periodically ask yourself, “What should I learn more
about?” Take inventory and study areas in which you may
be weak or may wish to investigate. Look into topics that
you always avoided or those that are outside your area of
expertise. Every day, I try to read newspapers, like the
Financial Times, because it’s important to my business to
know what’s going on worldwide, but I also love to read
golf magazines.

BEWARE

Nothing turns people off more than a person who constantly
needs to demonstrate how much he or she knows. Before long,
people stop listening, but they never forget when someone is such
a bore.
