Whatever Makes You Nervous

dash by martin gisborneWhenever Michael Jordan gets on the golf course and his friends ask the stakes of the game–how much money they’re betting against one another–rumor has it that his stock response is: “Whatever makes you nervous.”

That’s what you should bet on yourself, every time. Not what makes you comfortable, but what makes you nervous.

Your muscles get stronger by running, jumping, lifting weights, by stressing them out, by pushing them, not by sitting on the couch.

Mario Andretti said famously: “If everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough”.

And the one-liners could go on and on… Point being that you’ve got to push your comfort level to grow. That goes for your photography, your filmmaking, your art, your vision, your business, your whatever.

You will not succeed if you do not take risks.

[thx for the flying shot martin gisborne!]

    Thanks for your short article. I would like to say that the health insurance brokerage service also works best for the benefit of the actual coordinators of any group insurance plan. The health insurance agent is given a directory of benefits searched for by anyone or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker does is find individuals or even coordinators which usually best complement those demands. Then he reveals his tips and if both parties agree, the particular broker formulates legal contract between the two parties.

    Thanks for the suggestions about credit repair on this amazing web-site. What I would tell people will be to give up a mentality that they may buy currently and pay out later. Being a society most people tend to do this for many issues. This includes vacations, furniture, as well as items we would like. However, it is advisable to separate your own wants from the needs. If you are working to boost your credit score actually you need some trade-offs. For example you can shop online to economize or you can look at second hand retailers instead of costly department stores pertaining to clothing.
