Thank you for sharing this article with us! I never looked at the “dips” of life in this light. Most of the time when I am in deep “dip”, I tend to become more lost and out of focused. I also become emotional. That is why I admire those people who are able to do a quick rebound and be able to continue their “race”.

Nevertheless, I would like to ask this question. In experiencing a “dip.” Is there also a time or period for reflection and grieving? Or is this a waste of time and considered “unproductive” ?

dd,

Being the best usually needs a lot of work so the balance between your family, private and professional will be in danger.

Yes, being the best needs a lot of work, but I think it can be done in a way that doesn’t sacrifice other aspects of your life. Choosing your race carefully (#3) and stopping unproductive effort (#4) could help you maintain the balance.

Robb,
I agree with you, distinction is both science and art.

Flora,
Yes, Seth Godin is among the most concise people I know. Many of his blog posts are short but contain creative ideas.

Tickled by Life,
I often face the same temptation myself. When you encounter a good opportunity, you could get distracted from the best opportunity.

Frugal NYC,

I come from the IT myself and believe that many IT minded folks are concise.

I also come from IT and I can see that it’s true. People in IT are expected to solve problems in the shortest possible ways. It’s not easy to transfer the mindset to writing though.
Tribe is a book I’m waiting to read.

I come from the IT myself and believe that many IT minded folks are concise. My posts are generally concise however, I’m still working on the balance. As Chris mentioned above, its a difficult but worthwhile Challenge. The most important thing is getting your message across. This book is on my reading list too, currently I’m reading Tribe.

No. 3 is just so so so so important. It is also very difficult. I just seem to enter every race that i happen to pass by!

Thanks for sharing this book from Seth Godin. He packs more profund thoughts into a few words than anyone I know.

Wow…thank you for posting this valuable information!

I have learned that genuine distinction comes only to those who have worked hard to achieve it. Oddly enough, distinction is a science (something that can be imitated and systematically reproduced) as well as an art (something that takes much grace and patience).

Again, thank you for posting this information.
