Seeking Greatness


A friend of our club is always saying that people just do not know how to commit. To find some one who will stay focused, pay the price, and forgo all the distractions of life, is rare. To give a sustained effort is very difficult, and it seems that work ethics often falter when there are challenges. That being said, for those with a growth mindset it is the effort and intention that counts.  Here is a clip from a very inspirational movie of a man whose commitment has produced amazing results. We highly recommend this film!
Here are few quotes we love and we think Jiro would to:
“the essence of boredom is to be found in the obsessive search for novelty. Satisfaction lies in … the discovery of endless riches and subtle variations on familiar themes” - George Leonard
“At the heart of it, mastery is practice. Mastery is staying on the path” - George Leonard
In this clip you will gain a greater understanding for how Jiro views work and what keeps him motivated.
