Hello World Changers,
After watching the tennis last night, Federer vs. Nadal and then watching the American Super Bowl 43 today I am reminded about how important it is to finish well. We are not remembered for how we start things but how we finish them. Growing up, one of the lessons that I had to keep learning was to become a good finisher. I remember one of my former employers once telling me that how I finish one thing will determine how I start the next and that will carry on. That really hit me hard because at times I had not been a very good finisher. The implications of not finishing something and that affecting how I started the next really impacted me and I could look back and see how that was very true. Because of my personality I love to start things and hate to finish them, I know this about myself and try my hardest each time no matter how much I want to quit to finish well. How are you at finishing?
