After a Sales Meeting this morning, one of the members of the sales team forwarded this short movie to the entire staff. It is right on target for everyone in business and their personal life. It just stresses the fine line between winning and losing. The text is below, but for the full effect, you need the audio. Turn up the speakers and check it out here. http://www.212movie.com/
At 211 degrees water is hot.
At 212 degrees it boils.
And with boiling water comes steam.
And steam can power a locomotive.
One extra degree makes all the difference.
And the one extra degree of effort in business and in life separates the good from the great.
The average margin of victory for the last 25 years in all major golf tournaments combined was less than three strokes.
The margin of victory between an Olympic Gold Medal and no medal at all is extremely small.
In 2004 Men's 800 meter the margin was .77 seconds.
In the Indy 500 the average margin for victory the past ten years has been 1.54 seconds.
The winner received 1,278,813.
Second place won $621, 321.
The difference is $647,492.
It's your life.
You are responsible for your results.
It's time to turn up the heat.
To get what we've never had we must do what we've never done.
The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it possible.
"Its one of the most beautiful compensations in life--we can never help another without helping ourselves." Emerson
Belief fuels enthusiasm, enthusiasm explodes into passion. It fires our souls and lifts our spirits.
Having a simple, clearly defined goal can capture the imagination and inspire passion. It can cut through the dark like a beacon in the fog.
Perseverance isn't a long race; it is a many short races one after the other.
You are now aware. You now have a target for everything you do.
212 degrees.
I have long used the example of the baseball player that hits .200 that can't make any baseball team while one that can consistently hit .300 will very likely be enshrined in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. The difference is a mere one hit for every 10 at bats. What can you do today to get one more hit in every ten at bats? Let me know what it is.
