Good pressure is what drives us to use our unique talents in ways that others can’t, and enables us to create a "diamond" life.

The Obvious?

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person. –  Og Mandino – HT Steve Chandler

Take a look at autobiographies of successful people, and you will see that they all had a setback, and some even multiple setbacks.

As a leader, your actions always speak louder than your words, and your people never believe in your commitment by what you say, but by what you do. When you focus on giving your 100% commitment, you will always motivate others around you to do the same. Give your all to get their all.
