The Best Minute: Keep trying, discipline, and success

1 IDEA FROM ME

If you only try once, you have no margin for error.

The more you try, the greater your chance of getting it right.

Find a way to get more attempts (or in many cases, don’t give up so soon). The person who takes 1000 shots is going to score at some point.

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I. Craig Groeschel on what discipline is:

Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.

———————————

II. Robin Sharma on the small difference between success and failure:

Success is created through the performance of a few small daily disciplines that stack up over time to produce achievements far beyond anything you could have ever planned for. Failure, on the other hand, is just as easy to slip into. Failure’s is nothing more than the inevitable outcome of a few small acts of daily neglect performed consistently over time so that they take you past the point of no return.”

1 INTERESTING FACT

Bees heat and cool their own hive to keep it between 93 and 95 degrees year-round. 

Bees are cold-blooded and must keep their hive at a constant temperature. In cold weather, bees keep the hive warm by swarming together to generate body heat and by sealing cracks in the hive with propolis. In warm weather, the bees collect water and line up in a circle around the hive entrance. 

Using their wings, the bees fan the water so that it evaporates into the air. They then fan the cool air so that it circulates around the hive as a sort of central air conditioning.
