| The way I see it ... |
If you can do better, shouldn’t you? IF YOU CAN MAKE more money, or serve more customers, or live a better life ... should you? Most of us are doing better than just ok. We’ve got so much! We’ve got computers and cars, we travel and live in beautiful homes. We have air conditioning, big-screen TV’s, and food on the table. How much more should we “go for?” Here’s my answer: As much as your potential allows. Greed or blind ambition is obviously a terrible waste. It narrows our perceptions and robs us of joy. And, frankly, it limits our achievement because people don’t like or trust us, and we lose a certain creative nimbleness that is essential for maximum achievement. At the same time, if you have potential that could serve more people, that could make and share more money, that could build and create more products, I believe it is immoral to sit on your hands. You’ve got to try! There’s something wrong with being so afraid of failure that we deny the ability, the talent and opportunity the universe (God) has invested in us. If you can do better, I believe you have an obligation to “go for it!”
