The best

The best
+++++++++++++++++++

The best athletes don't care about whether or not they're the
best. What they care about is the game.

The best actors, musicians, doctors, scientists, teachers
and businesspeople are not consumed with being the best.
They're consumed with a passion for what they're doing.

If your desire is to be the best merely for its own sake,
you will strive and struggle against a world that absolutely
does not care. If, on the other hand, your most abiding
desire is to make a positive difference, you will surely end
up being the best at some particular thing or another.

The real substance of accomplishment is never in the
trophies or the praise or the recognition it brings. The
substance of accomplishment is in the value it delivers.

The best performers in any field are not the ones who hope
to be the best or even the ones who already think they are.
The best performers are those who never have to even think
about where they stand in the rankings.

Commit yourself to delivering value, and you won't be
burdened with the need to keep score. Indeed, you will
always be on top of the game.

Ralph Marston
