We talked about habits a few weeks ago and they are here again.
An excellent professional is not a leader, but a leader who has learned; it is not a ready-made manager, but a constructed manager. An excellent professional is developed in the field of education, exposed to conflicts, encouraged by challenges and prepared for weaknesses.
In the past, being a good professional, no matter what the profession, was enough to have security, get some perks, achieve goals. Today, societies, especially capitalist societies, undergo rapid and aggressive transformations, where it is not enough to be good, it is necessary to achieve excellence, including to stay healthy.
In the past, a large company took two or three generations to disappear, close, sell or go bankrupt. Today, it only takes a few years or months to go into decline. Good professionals are run over in a highly competitive market, where only the excellent survive. In times of crisis, this situation for the only “good” people worsened even more. They are much more exposed.
But what does it mean to be an excellent professional? This is a great debate! What are the main differences between a good professional and an excellent one? That's another great debate! An excellent professional challenges your intelligence more and develops at least five outstanding habits.
It's not the one who works the most, it's the one who thinks the most.
It is not what is predictable, but what is surprising.
It is not what repeats behaviors, but what is reinvented.
It's not what plasters the mind with routine, but what sets the imagination free.

The sooner you change your habits, the sooner you'll realize that it's more important to learn to think and surprise than to cover yourself with just good degrees.
Success! Cheers! Let's go!
