I realized long ago that life is unforgiving when it comes to getting what you want. You either get your results or walk away with a pocket full of excuses. The pocketful of excuses might make you feel better, but you still dont get the prize. Truth be told, I learned this lesson while watching Michael Jordan win a big game in the NBA finals while he was sick as a dog (sports fans know which game Im talking about). The world would have forgiven him for not being able to win that day, but he still would have had five championships instead of six. While giving up or feeling sorry for himself might have seemed like a reasonable strategy, he simply did what he had to do in order to make it happen. I dont like Michael Jordan as a businessman, but I respect that particular accomplishment. It taught me a lot about neglecting the temptation for self-pity and simply finding a way to get the job done.
