"Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates.
There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be
forward, backwards, or sideways. "
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Thanks to Andy Ortiz (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?

sharing this quotation.

Like an octopus, he might have eight things going at the same time but
I can assure you
all eight things are moving forward in a co-ordinated and balanced
way!

How often have you met or worked with people who are talented in
amazing ways but still can't get anything done?

How often have your realized YOU are talented but still not getting
the important things done?

Having talent is not enough. In addition to talent it is critical
that we know how - and when - to use our talents to achieve a
stated goal or need.

Leaders know how to selectively use their own talents to achieve
amazing results.

Good leaders know how to tap into the talent of individual members
of their team.

And, great leaders know how to combine the unique talents of
different members of their team and guide them to work together as
a single unit.

Think . . . and act . . . like a leader!

Great Topic Viraj, A person with talent but without discipline is like
a car without a steering wheel. I can recall of atleast four genuis on
the cricket field who lost out because they were not disciplined:

Sadanand Vishwanath
L Shivaramakrishnan
Vinod Kambli
Sreesanth (seems to be bent upon joining this list)

Sachin should be the role model for all people. He is like God of
Cricket but very disciplined.


Kudos to you Viraj for writing on this topic
