"Leaders aren't born; they are made. And they are made just
like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price
we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal."
-Vince Lombardi
There is perhaps no area of your life where self-discipline has a great impact on your future than in your work.
A group of senior executives was asked, "What are the most important qualities that a person would need to be promoted in your company?" Of these executives, 85 percent agreed that the most important qualities are:
1. The ability to set priorities and work on high value tasks; and
2. The discipline to get the job done quickly and well.
There is nothing that will bring you more quickly to the attention of people who can help you than for you to develop a reputation for hard, disciplined work, every hour of every day.
From "No Excuses" by Brian Tracy
