Give 100%, 100% Of The Time

Do you give 100% at work, at school, and at home? Some people probably think of giving 100% this way: 12% for Monday, 23% for Tuesday, 40% for Wednesday, 20% for Thursday, 5% for Friday = 100%. Too many people coast through life, only doing what is required to get by. Giving 100%, 100% of the time is the effort required to stop getting by and start getting ahead. It is the difference between playing not to lose and playing to win.

 

Living by design and not default. Giving 100% will separate you from the rest. It will build your integrity and your results.

 

John Wooden was one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time. His ten NCAA national championships in a 12-year period while at UCLA are unmatched by any other college basketball coach. John used to tell his players, “Give 100% today, because you can’t make up for it by giving 110% tomorrow. You don’t have 110%, you only have 100%, and that’s what I want from you right now.”

 

Giving 100%, 100% of the time builds a reputation of dependability. It allows you to build your character and your capacity. It is an investment in integrity that will transform your results. Patricia Aburdene, author of “Megatrends 2010” said, “Transcendent values like trust and integrity, literally translate into revenue, profits and prosperity.”

 

Give 100%, 100% of the time and you will gain respect and a reputation for getting things done.
