Sales Idea: The Curse of the Bell Curve
Hard work wins. A friend of mine played Division I baseball at Boston College. While chatting one day, he told me that his team had two guys make it to the big leagues. And, he said, they weren’t the most gifted baseball players. They were the hardest workers. They were the guys who never stopped trying to improve. I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you. We all know that hard work wins. Hard work beats rock. Hard work beats paper. And hard work beats scissors; but not just any old hard work. It has to be deliberate hard work, hard work with a plan, hard work doing the right things. Busy work guarantees nothing. Those guys became pros on purpose. They followed their plan and beat the odds. According to the NCAA, only 0.015 percent of all high school baseball players ever make the big leagues.
Most people drift along in mediocrity. The reality is that most people don’t succeed. Actually, most people don’t fail either. They just drift along in mediocrity. They live, as Richard Hoffer described in his Book, American Passion and Defiance in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, “A life without expression; just another guy, not a single trait or talent to mark him in a crowd.” Call it The Curse of the Bell Curve.
