    Are You Accomplishing Your Potential?   by Martin Avis

    Sometimes I anticipate that we accept our priorities aback to

    front. Accomplishment is apparent as the acme to aim for.

    I accept appear to anticipate that this is wrong.

    My 12-year old daughter, Lauren, came home from school

    yesterday, proudly bouncing her brand book. She had been

    awarded A-1 in alotof capacity - a abundant achievement!

    Then she acutely acicular out that her absolute account was

    marred by a B-1 in French and a C-1 in physical

    education.

    I asked her what the array meant. She said that the

    letter denotes accomplishment and the number, effort.

    That was if it addled me that the grades were

    misleading. Absolutely the alotof important account is effort?

    Yet it is apparent last.

    I gave her a big hug and told her that in my book, she

    had a absolute score. It didn t amount that her

    achievement brand in French was a B - the 1 showed

    that she had approved her hardest. That is something to

    make any ancestor proud.

    Everybody is different. Everybody has a different

    potential. Like Lauren, we are not all destined to be

    fluent linguists or approaching clue stars.

    But after 100% accomplishment no abeyant can be accomplished -

    and that is a absolute waste.

    Our programming to anticipate in agreement of A-1 extends way

    beyond the classroom. That is area the berry is sown,

    but the absolute aftereffect is acquainted in business.

    If I see a agent under-delivering, the first

    thing I wish to appraise is the accomplishment getting put in. If

    there is a problem with effort, the salesperson

    probably has no future. It is absurd to about-face round

    someone who just wants an simple way out.

    But, if I see 100% effort, but a abridgement of success, the

    salesperson is account my accomplishment in allowance along. Maybe

    a bit of training will help, or a few pointers from a

    more acknowledged colleague. I understand that 100% effort,

    focused in the appropriate direction, will consistently bring

    results - and that agent will accomplish their own

    potential. Whether that is an A or a C .

    And who can ask added than that?
