Do you see yourself as middle-class or world-class?
No,
I'm not talking about what's in your bank account. I'm talking about
what sets world-class performers apart from those who are just
"average," no matter what their profession.
Today, I'd like to share some of thoughts about what distinguishes world-class performers from those who are merely "good enough."
The Middle Class competes...the World Class creates.
The Middle Class avoids risk...the World Class manages risk.
The Middle Class loves to be comfortable. The World Class is comfortable being uncomfortable.
The Middle Class hungers for security...The World Class doesn't believe security exists.
The Middle Class sacrifices growth for safety. The World Class sacrifices safety for growth.
The Middle Class focuses on having...The World Class focuses on being.
The Middle Class is frustrated...The World Class is grateful.
The Middle Class has pipe dreams...The World Class has vision.
The Middle Class trades time for money...The World Class trades ideas for money.
The Middle Class is problem oriented...The World Class is solution oriented.
The Middle Class sees itself as a victim. The World Class sees itself as responsible.
The Middle Class thinks it knows enough...The World Class is eager to learn.
The Middle Class chooses fear...The World Class chooses growth.
