How much is your potential worth?

Nothing. Unless...

...you combine it with exceptional performance.

You might get praised for your potential, but you only get paid for your performance.

You might get noticed because of your potential, but you are remembered for your performance. Whether it is pitiful or exceptional.

Duncan Nugget #155: The Mis-Use Of Courage

[VIDEO]

I was talking to a student who lost the school mascot in a prank-gone-bad:

"Look man, just go in there and apologize. Man up."

"Naw. Can't do that. In front of the whole class?! Naw... everybody's gonna be laughin' at me." 


A lot of people are fearless when it comes to things they shouldn’t do, but scared to death when it comes to things they should do. 

Think about that.

People do crazy things in the name of fun, machismo, the male ego, or when it's time to "tell somebody off", but some of those same people have no heart in other matters.

How about having enough courage to step out of your comfort zone?

How about having enough heart to apologize and the fortitude to to accept full responsibility for your life?

Uh-oh...I think I just saw courage run out the door.

Are you using your courage for the right reasons?
