I do the best I can do , the best that I can do ; and will continue to do so until the end.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN - LES ... NOTING PRACTICE IN ACTION

For many years I have been receiving the tapes with the leadership lessons that John taught each month. After hearing one of them entitled 'Preparing the difference between winning and losing , " I had to make a question to John . " I loved teaching and took some things that have helped me ," he said, " but I need to ask you a question . Do you really think the preparation is so important in the life of a person ? " " Absolutely ," he replied . "This is what really makes the difference between winners and losers. Preparation is more than a discipline, it is an attitude , a lifestyle . My father used to quote the Bible verse says : " Whatsoever thy hand finds to do, do it with thy might ." In other words, what you do or as you have, offers the best of you. I try to follow this principle in everything I do. " I have watched John for years and know it's true . Everything he does , he does with excellence, but it is even more than that. While we were working on this book , we had a meeting in San Diego. Simultaneously, John expected news about the birth of their fourth grandchild. When the meeting ended , he took us to dinner at Peohe's , his restaurant favorite in San Diego , which has an excellent menu and an even better view. It is located on the island of Coronado, against the scenic bay area of San Diego. We stood at the outer section , near the water. Immediately John and Margaret took the seats looked into the restaurant for everyone else enjoying ourselves view of the bay. During the meeting at office also had sea view, John also sat with his back to the window , allowing other people who came to visit could enjoy the view . And in neither case had been a coincidence. I know John and I know you think in the details. He had chosen the worst seat because I wanted to offer us us better .

A MOMENT WITH JOHN ... TEACHING MAXWELL STYLE

For years I have been invited to be the speaker for various organizations in their special events. That's something I enjoy. I communicate with an

audience full of energy. It would be easy for me to ' improvise ' or do some speech made before packaging elsewhere . But not because I do not think that is correct. Rather, it took time to find out about the company. Find out as much as possible about the particular event and what they want to achieve. Why would he do that knowing that I do not need to succeed? I do it because I have a goal every time I talk . I want the person who invited me to speak say later: " You exceeded our expectations . " I want to give the best. Maybe you're from the people who already have that mentality to give their best . If so , I congratulate you and encourage you to keep that attitude. But if not, I hope these ideas help him develop that mindset :

ANYONE CAN BE IMPORTANT TO ME

Most likely give the best of ourselves to those we love and respect . memory time when school teachers and wanted some aversion felt by others. I always gave my best teachers and others who wanted to give them only what is necessary to pass the course . Later I realized that these attitudes often damaging my relationships with others as potential to succeed . but then discovered the antidote : If I saw all people as important , not only I liked them , then You could always give the best of me. This change of attitude prompted a change in my actions.

WE DO ANYTHING TO BE IMPORTANT

Most times in life will be special if we see them that way. An average day will be just a average day because we have not made it special. The best way is to raise an experience best of us . That makes it special. A normal conversation becomes better when listening with interest. Ratio common is transformed when you make an effort. An insignificant event becomes

something special when is added creativity. Anything you can do something important if the person gives their best .

BE IMPORTANT TO YOU ALL

Who are the most important people in your life? Are those who never take the time , or that never are with you when they need? Of course not. Generally , people who are important are those that make you feel important. We instinctively value people who value us . if you want to be important to others , give them importance . The most effective way is to give the best of themselves .

GET YOUR GIFTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

"My potential is a gift from God to me. What I do is with potential gift for Him. " Over 30 years ago memorized a quote that has determined the way I live , "My potential is a gift God to me. What I do is with potential gift for Him. " I am responsible to God, to others and to me for every gift, talent, resources and opportunity to have in life. If you give less than what I can , I'm evading responsibility. I think the UCLA coach John Wooden spoke of it when he said , "You make every day a work of art. " If we give our best all the time , we can make our life something special. And that will be reflected in the lives of others. There is a story that I love about President Dwight Eisenhower. Once members headed National Press Club and said it hurt not have had a better political education to help you be a best speaker . Their lack of ability in that area reminded him of his childhood in Kansas , where an old farmer was trying to sell a cow. The buyer asked about the pedigree of the cow, cream production and production monthly milk . The farmer replied, " I do not know what their pedigree and have no idea of the production cream but it is a good cow and give you all the milk you have . " That's all we can do, give all we have. That's always enough.

LES ... recap

A lot of recent psychological research has focused on the value of the virtues . And experts are finding that when people strive to achieve a degree of excellence in character traits – by example, when you strive to have a generous spirit , usually benefit while in the process to benefit

others . This cultivar is called ' satisfaction ' .1 No need for a research study to know that when you give the best of themselves , automatically feel satisfied.

To apply the teaching of John to his own life ...

Forget : From just do the minimum to pass it Apply to do your best . Inquire: What can I do for someone who I can not return the favor ? do it: Voluntarily give more than is required.

Remember: We all appreciate a person who gives his best .
