FRIDAY THOUGHTS
By Fabian De Marco
When Do Real Champions Emerge?
Something occurred to me recently that really got me thinking. Take a second to think back to the last time you ran in a race, what usually happens as you approach the finish line? If you’re anything like me you’re usually buggered, so as you get closer to the end you subconsciously begin to slow down.
Sound about right?
Next time you’re watching a Melbourne cup race observe how the real champion does not usually emerge until the final straight. Why is this?
I have started to observe a common characteristic amongst those at the top of the success tree. As they approach the finish line, instead of slowing down, they actually dramatically increase their activity, discipline and effort.
“Next time the clock reads 4:30pm and you’re thinking about slowing down, remember it is in these moments that the real champions emerge.”
