This past year I read Cal Ripken Jr.'s book "Get in the Game." At the end of every chapter Cal gives Eight Ripkin Principles that apply to the chapter. Over the next few days or weeks I will be posting the 8 Principles from each chapter. Chapter 1 is entitled "The Right Values" and here are the 8 Principles:
- When it comes to perseverance, hard-work ethic is indispensable. It increases your chances of success at any endeavor, in any field.
- Never let anyone outwork you. Do not take for granted that you have a job.
- If you don't want to work, you shouldn't have hired out. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
- Set a standard of excellence at your position. Remember, perfect practice makes perfect.
- Be a straight shooter. If you're asked a question, give a direct answer.
- Honesty and integrity help a person earn trust. You cannot persevere in any organization without the trust of others.
- Integrity is being counted on to give your all and perform your job to the best of your ability at any moment, in any situation, every single time.
- Play every game as if it were the most important game of the season.
