Every Monday morning I sit for a sales training session. It begins at 8.45 and goes on till just past ten. You have to be early cos otherwise you wont get a seat. Besides which a lot of people need to shuffle around to make room for your chair. Coming late is a black spot on you. They are interesting but I still dread it. Maybe its cos instead of it being a leraning & interactive experioence people are so stiff & quiet and uncomfortable. They are like vultures waiting for you to fall.
This morning, I was right on time, while waiting for it to begin, i was told that there wont be a training session today so I could leave. Yipee! but then LB said that he's got something that might interest us and so to be seated. So we sat.

The lesson was about discipline.
These were the key points:- To be perfect, you need to be steady, to reach your goal - Dont think of a wall as a wall but look at it as a collection of bricks. By concentrating on setting a perfect brick at a time, you can get that perfect wall.
- Fighting competition - not everyone's going to put in their 100% all the time, by giving 100% and delivering 5 when the target was 3, you'll find it hard to lose.
- Fightin the devil within - ignore the voice inside you that says, "why try so hard when you can do an ok job for half the effort?"
- Determination & self belief - you can.
- Living with the pain of not achieving what you deserve - cos of sheer laziness
