Kick Butt Tip: Be Humble Be Hungry and Work Hard
Today’s Kick Butt Tip of the Day comes from Hollywood superstar and former professional wrestling star Dwayne Johnson better known as The Rock. How cool must it be to have the nickname The Rock?
From The Rock, “be humble, hungry and always be the hardest worker in the room.”
At one time and it still may be the case, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was the highest paid actor in Tinseltown. I would bet that Johnson’s work ethic blew everybody else on the movie set away.
If I may, I would like to add one word to The Rock’s Kick Butt Tip of the Day. That word is focus. From time to time, I will hear one of my coworkers complain or remark about missing a deadline or not satisfactorily completing a task. In my humble opinion, if my coworker had only put his mobile device away and “focused,” he would have reached his goal. Also in my opinion, if my coworker had closed his office door and remained “focused,” the outcome might have been more acceptable.
Smart little moves can help to make a big difference. In addition to silencing your cellular phone and closing your office door, another idea might be to silence your office phone. Most devices have some type of do not disturb setting. Here’s another trick. One of my managers has developed the great habit of placing a note on his office door saying “not available at this time.
A classic saying comes to mind. If you don’t manage your time, someone else or something else will.
From “The Rock,” “be humble, hungry and always be the hardest worker in the room.”
Go get em tiger. God don’t make no junk. You are awesome. Now go be awesome!
