THE REGRETS OF A CHAMPION


I once heard Irving Berlin say, "the toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success". Let me put it straight, a champion also exhibits some fear, it is just that he has control over his fear. Ernest Hemingway says, "courage is grace under pressure", and Woody Allen says, "its not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens". A champion truly has his weakness but he never lets his weakness have him. I will discuss more in detail four out of the many regrets of a champion later this week have a blessed Sunday.

EXPOSED TO DANGER
Danger is always locking around the corridors of great and famous people. Usually, it is a type of danger in disguised. It glitters but it can litter the life of champion. If you are not careful you may being to live the life of a hypocrite, someone says, "a hypocrite is one who is not himself on Sunday." You are not really yourself because you want to avoid being labelled with a bad name your life is dictated by the forces around you.
As a champion you must be careful with things which did not get you up there but can bring you down. The things which took you to the place of achievement are the things which can sustain you there. Beware. The danger of peers in one. The danger of peers is one. Everybody loves to be a friend to a champion, but know that a champion cannot be everybody's friend. You must be friendly, be accessible and acceptable but do not be influenced anyhow and easily.
The danger of family pressure is number two. You must care for your family but do not lose concentration because of their demands. They can get on your nerves and their schedules may conflict with yours, but be organised and principled. The danger of the media is number three. They can help get your informations to the world but they would not let you them what to do, write or say. They have to make their own money too.
The danger of pleasure is number four. As much as possible you must enjoy the wealth you possess and the position you occupy, but do not let them take over your self-esteem or ego. They are to boost your ego and not control it. You must distinguish between pleasure and work. While work gives, pleasure takes.

Jonathan Keese (Those You Must Not Disappoint)

Every man on top soon becomes someone's gem. You will have secret admirers and some would even make public declarations about you. They will move their tent and pitch it next to yours just to see you. I will come back to these ones later, but there are some I intend to bring to your heart, and these are those who were there with you from the beginning. You did not just become their emerald whey you got the championship, but they found you to be who you are before becoming what you are. They have loved and accepted you before the time of fame, and far before others came to know and accept you. They saw friendship before championship, so you must not let them down.

As a talk show host, I always think of my numerous followers and admirers all over the globe, as a result of which I pray to God to uphold me and deliver me from evil. I have let down followers before and the experience I had and the backlash was horrible. Do you know some people can backslide if you backslide? They can feel that if someone like you falls away, how then can they stand the same test that befell you.

7. Am I really getting something done or just killing time?
8. Never tolerate poor performance in yourself or others.
9. Create a clean, organized environment that encourages work.

11. Figure out what absolutely has to get done, and then do it first.
12. Do the right thing once you make a mistake.

Jonathan Keese (It's Called Work!)

It's Called Work

People tend to focus on process instead of accomplishment. We have become spectators instead of doers. We reward the wrong things. We tolerate poor performance. People are no longer conditioned to work. They are conditioned to watch other people work. It's not how many hours you put into the work, but how many hours you put into the work, but how much work you put into the hours!
