By Dan Sullivan (summary by Jeffrey Bush)
- Always make your future bigger than your past. Allow what you know to
push you to bigger achievements. - Always make your learning greater than your experience. Experience does
not mean growth. You don’t get to choose all of your experiences, but you
can choose to learn from them. - Always make your contribution bigger than your reward. It’s the
contributions that make us grow, not the rewards. - Always make your performance bigger than your applause. Applause can
be intoxicating, causing you to build your life around what others think. The
best performers are those that seek to improve and grow. Applause should
be a byproduct, but never the goal itself. - Always make your gratitude greater than your success.
- Always make your enjoyment greater than your effort.
- Always make your cooperation greater than your status.
- Always make your confidence greater than your comfort.
- Always make your purpose greater than your money.
- Always make your questions bigger than your answers.
