Good Is The Enemy Of Great

James C. Collins, the author of “Good to Great” says that “good is the enemy of great”. And that is the reasons why we have few people who become great.

Most of the people do not bother to become ‘great’ because after becoming ‘good’ (and getting appreciation from mediocre persons around them) they are satisfied with their goodness. Such persons stop growing and improving further and as a result remain mediocre throughout their lives. Every person can become ‘great’ and improve his/her stature if he consciously applies the following ideas:

1.      Passion to become ‘great’. Such people defy the law of gravity and convert their mediocrity into superiority.

2.      Have a compelling vision: Nothing is impossible to accomplish when a person is totally focused, when he or she has clarity coupled with ‘magnificent obsession’ such persons leap from GOOD to GREAT.

3.      People who think continuously in the direction of their own strength are bound to achieve greatness.

4.      Greatness can be engineered into the DNA of persons by positive thoughts and actions and a company of ambitious and supporting friends.

5.      It has been observed people who become GREAT were restless to grow from a young age.

6.      Keen desire to learn and earn more and more. Such persons make leap to greatness.

“Good, better, best. Never ever rest. Till your good becomes better! And your better becomes the best!!”

Look deeply inside yourself, find your uniqueness and remove all obstacles (real or perceived) in your life and always think and visualize for better days ahead… you will be on your way to greatness.
