The ABC Way
Respect - Responsability - Ambition - Heritage
1. Be Grateful For What You Have
Being grateful creates a positive perspective. Your perspective is your reality.
"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them" - Paulo Cuelho
No one is bigger than the game.
"Stay humble or the game will humble you." "Let another praise you, and not your own mouth."
2. Don't Be A Hero
Do the simple things savagely well. Not more. Not less. As always, control what you can control.
"Stay within yourself, and give your opponent solely what he deserves."
"You can't put on the frosting until you've baked the cake."
3. Don't Assume Anything
You cannot fear made up scenarios and you cannot take things for granted.
"It's not over, until it's over."
4. Always Give Your Best Effort
This takes away the biggest of poisons: Regrets.
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." - Michael Jordan
5. Don't Take Things Personally
This is your immunity from negative energy, from the inside or outside world.
Check the Ego: "Ego clouds and disrupts the mission's success"
"If you don't like it, play better."
6. Make Things Fun
Fun is always going to be at the core of human behavior.
"One of the greatest talent in life the having ability to turn things that are not supposed to be fun, into fun.
It's a matter of choice."
7. Make No Excuses
Nobody cares about your whining. It won't change the result.
"Being a man is about being able to point the finger toward yourself."
8. Commited On And Off The Field
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is givin to us" - Gandalf
"Discipline is doing the right thing when nobody is watching; Discipline is freedom."
9. Look Sharp / Big Body Language
You wan't to be a pro ? Start by acting like a pro. Soon enough, you'll become one.
"Be big; Be proud; Be invicible; Be an ABC guy"
10. Work As A Team
We're all part of the same fleet. Look after each other. Keep the boats together.
"For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack" - The Jungle Book
11. Leave It Better Than You Found It
"Never be too big to do the small things that need to be done"
"Be a good ancestor... Plant trees you will never see"
Abide by those rules, and your success is guaranteed.
"As things in life are neither black, nor white, but grey,
those rules keep things in balance.
Balance helps you walk on the beam of life."
