Do you Worry about Decisions?
What would the world be like now if Steve Jobs worried about his original opinion about the cell phone?
“We don’t think we’d do well in the cell phone business.”
— Steve Jobs (2003)
How about Edison?
“Fooling around with alternating current is just a waste of time. Nobody will use it, ever.”
— Thomas Edison (1889)
Make a decision and see how it plays out. Worrying over conditions once we have reached a decision . . . tends to create the failure we fear!
You take the first important step toward determining your own future when you make the conscious decision to approach every task with a positive outlook and to stick with the job until it is done.
If you find this attitude difficult at first, you’ll discover it eventually becomes part of you. And after you begin to realize the benefits that accrue to you because you are known as someone who always gives a little extra, you wouldn’t consider doing things any other way.
The people who are promoted to the best positions in the company are those who make it a practice to go the extra mile, to do more than they are paid to do, and to do it willingly and cheerfully.
