Wanna be a Winner??

Here's a simple question to get you started.There are three monkeyssitting on a tree,above a pond.One of the monkeys decides to jump into the pond.How many monkeys are left on the tree?Two?Think again..

A lot of you might have got the correct answer i.e. three and you know the reason also.The monkeyonly made the decision to jump into the pond.He didn'e actually jump!If you think about it we are all like that.We take decisions.We make resolutions.But somehow,we don't follow through with action.Annd intent without action is quite useless,really.Gettin started-taking the first step-is often the master key to success.As someone once said,you don't have to be great to get started,but you sure have to get started to become great!

Bestselling management author Tom Peters tells the story of a man who approached JP Morgan with an enevelope,and said,"Sir,in my hand I hold a guaranteed formula for success,which I will gladly sell you for $25,000."
"Sir",JP Morgan replied,"I don't know what is in the envelope.However,if you show me,and I like it,I give you my words as a gentleman that I will pay you what you ask".The man agreed to terms,and handed over the envelope.JP Morgan opened it,and pulled out a single sheet of paper.He gave it one look-a mere glance-then handed it back to the gentleman.And paid him the agreed upon sum of $25,000!
What was on the sheet of paper??
There were two things on paper:
1-Every morning,write down a list of the things that need to be done that day.
2-Do them.
JP Morgan benefited from this advice,and we can too.Knowing what to do is often easy(yes,it is easy but we often make it difficult-when confused listen to your heart and do whatever u want to do,this will improve efficiency).We all have our list of things to do.Our plans and our resolutions.Doing it-that's tha tough bit.But that's the hallmark of successful people.
The "Nike" guys are right.-
