🇸🇬 This week in Singapore I met up with many smart people.
Hey - you only grow when you surround yourself with A players!
Frank brought me to hike and said I am very disciplined as I wake up early and gym consistently.
💡 He asked me when did I start to be disciplined?
To be honest:
It only happened 4-5 years ago
⏰ When I was young, my attention span was short.
I changed hobbies from time to time.
I never achieved greatness in anything because I was always switching.
🚨 (Same for job hopping - if you are always switching industries, it is more challenging to be the best)
The pivoting moment was back at Michael Page.
My first year of work.
📊 At recruitment, our sales revenue is calculated by quarter.
I am surrounded by many top players and we have a league table (that shows ranking based on sales revenue).
I remember hitting a nice sales revenue in April and then I sat back and chilled in both May and June.
✏ My thoughts were:
I already hit my target in April - Why bother working hard in May and June??
I can work hard again in July and catch up with the results again just like last minute studying right???
🌝 To my surprise, I was totally wrong.
Not only did I become the bottom in my team in Q3, my last minute of hard work in July did not pay off.
🌚 I did not hit my sales target in Q3.
It was this mistake that taught me discipline and consistency.
They are important in achieving career success or any success in life (e.g. sports/art/other areas)
☄ Sometimes you learn best when you make a mistake.
It teaches you a more valuable lesson than reading or attending lessons.
