How many steps are you ahead?


It is not important whether you are walking, jogging or running to a finishing line. But, what is most important is how many steps are you ahead of others.

I am attracted to a billboard illustrating the current world number woman squash player. She, Nicol David, has been at the helm of the woman squash league. She is a distant away from her challengers. The footage of the billboard says “winning is about being a step ahead!” by a regional bank based in Malaysia. She also a Malaysian that makes all Malaysian proud.

I had an opportunity to be parts of 30 Malaysian team selected to be 2004 Olympic torch bearer in Greece. Nicol David is selected to be in the team from sport category. I had a chance to speak to her few times during the few days period in Greece.

One thing for sure, she is extremely clear with her vision and objectives. She also knows what it going to take her to be world number one player. She plans her training schedules and move around worldwide on her own. She is few steps ahead of most sport persons. She BELIEVES in herself of being world numero uno (number 1). No wonder, she is the world champion and I strongly believe she will be there for another 5 years or more.

Do you know where are you heading in life? Which directions? How many steps? etc.

Please find answers to these questions!
