When you run a Sprint you better not make any mistakes.
Even one tenth of a second off and you might well lose.
Many believe life is a Sprint race, so the moment they make a couple of mistakes they realize they won’t win and change races. Again.
Ok, so?
Well, consider
most ‘races’ in life as Marathons.
It’s not so very important how well you start the race.
Even if you make mistakes.
Far more relevant how you pace yourself.
And, most important of all, if you continue long after your initial desire fades.
I read so very many resumes that state just how great the individual is and how they saved the company or increased sales dramatically.
My response is always “If you did so well over and over again, why do you always leave?”
The success you want comes at the end of the Marathon and not by doing a lot of Sprints.
