Winning is all about taking an uncompromising attitude towards accepting no goal less than the very best. In his book "Speed is Life", Bob Davis, the founder of Lycos, claims that he fired an operations executive, who presented a business plan guaranteeing only 95% availability. "To this day I do not understand his reasoning", Bob Davis says.
In business, either you have done your job, or have done better than your job, or have not done your job at all. There is no 70% achiever, 80% achiever or 95% achiever. You are either an achiever, an over achiever, or a non achiever. Period.
This tag line from a Nike ad sums it up very succinctly –
"You don't win Silver. You lose Gold."
