Day 41
18th Aug 2011
Do you have a role model? You should have one so that you can benchmark your performance with reference to your role model. Every field has its legends. Beethoven, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Walt Disney, Martin Luther King are some examples who walked this earth. There are living examples such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Tiger Woods, Viswanathan Anand, Sachin Tendulkar etc who are icons in their chosen fields.
You can improve your performance by modelling the mindset of your role model legend. The more you think about your role model, you will unconsciously imbibe their qualities. You don't have to lose your originality.
Try the following:
- Decide your role model and read more and more about him/her.
- Read their autobiography.
- Meet them it may be difficult, but do it.
- Have their picture in front of your work table and in your bed room. You should look at their picture first thing in the morning and before going to bed. You should be looking at them as you work through the day.
Notice what happens to your personality! Do it from today!
