The Big Lesson

Hello there and welcome back to Six Minutes. Do you know Im only months away from
studying the material that Im working with, that Im sharing with you, for 50 years?
Thats right. Its just months from now that it was 50 years ago I picked up Think and
Grow Rich and like that (Bob snaps his fingers), my whole life changed. I couldnt even
begin to tell you some of the things that have happened.

But you know, coming in to video this today, I got to thinking of one of the biggest
lessons Ive ever learned. How often do you hear when a person gets a project, Well Ill
do the best I can. Think of that. How many times have you said it? How many times
have I said it? Ill do the best I can. But I heard something one day that literally
changed everything in my life.

I want you to think of this: sometimes the best you can do is not good enough. Do you
know what you have to do? Youve got to do whatever is required. Now when you
make up your mind that youre going to do whatever is required to get the job done
thats how we got to the moon, thats how we got to the top of Mt. Everest. Thats how
these cameras were made, thats how our communication system was developed: by
a person who said, Ill do whatever is required.

Now spend four or five minutes thinking about what youre going to do today. And
make up your mind youre going to do whatever is required.
