The Right Words at the Right Time - Venus Williams
Those of you who read my last blog will know that Saturday was an amazing day. What happened next with "her" I may/ may not put in my blog - havent decided yet. Its very early days, there is much work to be done to ground it. For now it very private.So its back to the book..........
Venus Williams, an amazing tennis player recounts in the book the words of her sister Serena Williams during a game of doubles. Venus wasnt playing well and her sister said the fatefull words to her: "YOU HAVE A CHOICE, TO COMPETE WELL OR COMPETE BADLY. I CHOSE TO COMPETE WELL, WHY DONT YOU DO THAT TOO". An in those words Venus found a life philosophy - that if you are going to do something, give it your best, nothing less.
After that day she came back into form and played her best. She was 22 years of age when she heard those words.
It got me thinking that this is also my philosophy when I work - nothing but the best. I havent always applied it to other parts of my life, but am learning to.
