Are you willing...

...to do things differently? If being the "best" required a change in habits, what would it look like?

His favourite questions start with “why.” Why should employees feel compelled to read their emails on Sunday evening, but can’t go to the movies on Monday afternoon? Why should they take work home, but can’t bring their kids to the office? Why should they have to sit for hours in traffic getting to the head office? Brazilian businessman Ricardo Semler loves to question everything.

I find it is easy to learn about what world-class people do. Athletes, business people, experts all publish their methods and techniques for managing their time, energy and focus.
In fact, almost any magazine will have something we can review. If it's still available, in the October, 2005 issue of Runner's World  magazine (on page 38) Jorge Torres gave us three tips for faster running.

In a brief search using the terms "world-class" "habits" I found these quotes:
Steve Siebold says, "Since all of us are a product of our dominant thoughts, we tend to manifest results that are in direct harmony with our current level of consciousness."
Robin Sharma  says, "Our highest human freedom is the power to choose. We may not always get the consequences or results we want but we always have choice."
According to the RPS Website, you can actually plan to win the game Rock, Paper, Scissors "The first [principle] is: 'If you can make your opponent believe what you want him to, you can make him behave how you want him to.'"

What I find myself wondering now, however, is this:

What do world class people NOT do?

From the limited reading I've done about this, I would say they DON'T accept limited thinking, they don't let worry creep into their thoughts, and they don't find excuses for why things are not working... what say you? What have you seen the best of the best NOT do?
