You know what you need to improve on to get better. That’s big. You’d be surprised at how many people think they are good and have no clue that they are playing at only 50 percent of their potential. Even when people call them the best or say they are great, the best know they can do it even better and greater as they strive for perfection. The best see where there is room for improvement and their humility and passion drives them to improve. The average ones, however, don’t see it or don’t want to see it. They think that once they arrive at the door of greatness it will stay open forever, not realizing that if they don’t improve the door will shut and in some cases will even fall on them.
