Day 49
30th Aug 2011
If you are an instrument player or a racer, will you not compare your instrument and the vehicle with that of your competitor! These are mere external comparisons of the hardware we use to make our living or to pursue our profession, hobby etc.
We should also compare and evaluate the basic skill set we need to be our best in our chosen field. In the era of international competition, anything which is not internationally marketable cannot continue. In order to be internationally competitive, we have to have international skill level. If you are a golfer, you should have the skill an international gofer has. If you are a writer, you should have the writing skill which an international writer has. The same applies if you are a marketing manager or a financial manager.
Today you list three basic skills which will decide your edge over others in your chosen field. Benchmark your skill with that of the legend and your own to assess the gap. Then chalk out an action plan and strategy to narrow the gap.
Do it sincerely and watch your expertise grow!
