Consistency is the truest measure of performance.

Consistency is the truest measure of performance. Almost anyone can have a great day or even a good year, but true success is the ability to perform day in and day out, year after year, under all kinds of conditions.

Inconsistency will win some of the time; consistency will win most of the time: Consistency requires concentration, determination, and repetition. To be at your best all the time, you must:

Take Nothing For Granted: If you aren’t “up” every day, something or someone will knock you down.

Take Pride In What You Do: The things that you do well are the things that you enjoy doing.

Take Setbacks In Stride: Don’t brood over reverses, learn from them.

Take Calculated Chances: To win something, you must risk something.

Take Work Home: To get ahead, plan ahead.

Take The Extra Lap: Condition yourself for the long run. The tested can always take it.

Don’t Take “No” For An Answer: You can do what you believe you can do.
