Chapters
You have to be good enough on your worst day to beat your opponent on his best day, on the day he feels motivated and gets out of bed and wants to fight, and he's raring to go, and he's on the top of his game, and you feel the absolute opposite. You want to lay in bed, you don't want to move, you don't want to go anywhere, but you have to get up and have to fight this man. You have to be good enough to beat him anyway. You have to be that good. Life often gives you chances, and you get one shot. You don't get to replay them, you don't get to rerun them. No matter what happens in life, you must Be that good, man.
To me, that just means I have to be good at continuing to fight for what I want and continuing to make steps and give effort and outwork people. I don't necessarily have to be good or great at sales when I was getting started or recruiting when I was doing that. I just have to be good at continuing to grind away at what I'm trying to accomplish. And for me, I know without certainty with time I'll be better than most in the way he meant it down the road. I don't need that first.
