Thinking Is Your Greatest Asset

The hardest job in life is being able to think.

Taking the time to think allows you to establish what your goals and priorities are. Thinking helps you avoid the urge to just react to everything that comes your way. It helps you prepare.

To be an effective leader, you must think.

To be able to plan, problem solve, innovate and adapt, you must think.

I tried to soak in the environment and take in every detail. What foods were people eating? Were they buying more t-shirts or jerseys? Which team? What colors? Was there a popular hat style? What sponsors were announced over the PA system? What sponsors had billboards in the stadium?  How was the crowd reacting to a player’s name being announced?

When I got home, I watched every commercial. I switched through every news channel to what people were saying about the game. How were they reacting?

Derek Jeter once told me about the power of thinking.

He told me that there is a fine line between a Minor League ballplayer and a Major League player; a Major Leaguer and an All-Star; an All-Star and a Hall of Famer. For the most part, talent-level is virtually the same. The difference between someone like him and someone drafted in the 40th round that is out of the game after two years is their mindset and how they prepare themselves for every aspect of their job.

Before every pitch, Derek will run through hundreds of possibilities in his head in just a matter of seconds. He thinks about every situation that could occur on the next play. What type of pitch is coming? What’s the count? Are there runners on base? Is the third baseman playing up the line? Can he get the catcher’s signs? If he bunts, will the first basemen be able to make a play? Does the right fielder have a good arm? And so on.

Along the same lines, before any TV or radio interview I do, I will think of literally hundreds of questions I could possibly be asked. I make sure that I think of everything, so that I leave no doubt as to whether that interview will be a success.

That’s the mentality you need to have with anything that you do. If you don’t prepare for everything that could come your way, you won’t be successful. Take the time to breath and just think. Prepare yourself. Think about where you want to be. How do you want to get there?

Most people spend the majority of their day reacting…give yourself time to think.

  • The need for more legitimate hacking companies are rising each passing day because of the magnitude of scams being run on the Internet. I know what I went through before I was able to contact Osecybersailing to work on my case after getting scammed multiple times and trying to retrieve back my lost investment funds. After I have invested $670k usd with a fraudulent crypto investment company and i lost everything in the space of one month and got scammed again and again trying to find a solution which wasn’t easy to come by given the circumstances that brought about the incident, getting scammed multiple times is never a good experience for anyone involved which was what exactly happened to me when I got scammed investing into crypto currency. Many posing on the Internet as hacking companies aren’t really what they are because most of them are scammers waiting for a prey to devour, I got referred to reach out to Osecybersailing through a friend and after I investigated about their legitimacy I came across many of their testimony from their satisfied clients that got their lost investment funds retrieved working with this legitimate and evergreen hacking institute which also changed my story helping me retrieve back my lost investment funds. Many of the testimony really were saying great and worthy things about how the company saved them from financial loss, I decided to hire them after many consideration and they didn’t disappoint me by making the choice of choosing them after what I have experienced lately trying to get my funds back from the scammers. They proved they can be trusted with the recovery of lost investment funds which is why I wrote this down for other victims of scam who wishes to ever retrieve back their lost investment funds to let Osecybersailing solve their case, they’re worthy and has what it takes to restore back your funds and peace of mind.
