What characteristics do the best performers have?
A few common traits I've noticed:
1. Don't get tired of the boring stuff
2. Masters of compartmentalization
3. Can flip the switch
4. Know how to lose well
5. Cultivate perspective
6. Delayed gratification
7. Drive from within
To achieve excellence over an extended period of time, it will require consistent hard work, discipline, courage, pain, failure after failure, ups & downs, doubt, sacrifice, focus, intension, mastery...
There are only two ways a good long run ends:
1. you feel like you could have run much longer
2. you’re sitting on the shower floor questioning your entire existence
There is no in between
