A very special quote that I (Simon) am reminded about at least once a day, is a quote from Jerry Rice, American Football Coach. “Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t” We dissect this quote, it’s meaning and it’s application. It’s a great reminder that to succeed or become the best in any field; business, sport, music, foreign languages or your career, you must live and learn like 99 others from 100 are not prepared to.
