I was always an overachiever.
Advancement only comes with habitually doing more than you are asked.
I was a real overachiever.
Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town.
If someone doesn't fit in your company, you have an obligation to get rid of them, because you're holding them back from excelling elsewhere.
At times, maybe I'm too competitive for my own good.
There were so many fellows ranked over me I couldn't just whoop them all. I had to out-shadow them by talking.
When you've got 10,000 people trying to do the same thing, why would you want to be number 10,001?
I just want to go out on a high note, go out on top, and lead my team.
Less gossiping, more learning. Less complaining, more excelling. Less walls, more bridges. Less fear, more courage
When you are an elite talent, you cannot allow anyone that comes into your 'eliteness' and take you down. You have to make them rise to your level.
Once you accept that playing the game will be uncomfortable, and you do it for a while, it will become much easier (like it does when getting fit). When you excel at it, you will find your ability to get what you want thrilling.
