Anyone that has known me for over 5 minutes knows that I am a die-hard Gator fan. Anyone that follows college football knows that I am not happy. The Gators have had a train wreck of a season…to put it mildly. After over 15 seasons of glorious football, our reign of dominance is over in a very big way. So how do the Gators get back to excellence? How do any of us achieve it?
1. Love what you do.
I really don’t think that anyone can be excellent at anything with a bad attitude. Everyone has seen someone with massive potential fail due to a bad attitude. Likewise, when someone is in love with what they are doing and has passion for their job, it fuels resilience, perseverance, and focus.
2. Practice makes perfect.
Bringing you’re A- game is completely necessary if you want to excel. Not some of the time, but ALL of the time. If you choose to divide your day up into 60-90 minute segments, you will not only find that your efficiency greatly increases, your quality of work similarly increases.
3. Listen to the critics.
Pretty much everyone says that you should never listen to your critics and follow your instincts. I completely disagree. I think that if you are going to achieve true excellence you have to address the issues that other see with your performance. You can never improve if you can nor first accept your own flaws.
4. Delay your gratification.
Put your goals fist. Play second. Categorize your tasks based on importance, not desire.
