I know it has taken me way too long to finally finish my posts from Cal Ripken Jr.'s book "Get in the Game," but here are the Ripken Principles from the 8th and final chapter.
- When criticized, take it with a grain of salt. People are entitled to their opinions.
- Stubbornness can be a positive trait in helping you persevere through some tough times. It can help you overcome injuries, and it can aid you in dealing with unfair criticism.
- When the chips are down, a good manager knows he can always count on his best people to be present.
- When you're a little bit sick or injured, the answer is not to take time off. The answer is to keep going.
- You can insulate yourself from physical injury by playing all out.
- By going all out all the time, you are likely to attract the attention of your managers and teammates. That will, in turn, make you more valuable to the organization.
- When you believe in something and you think it's right, you have to be strong enough to have the courage to stand up for it.
- Do not let the enormity of the moment take you outside of what you know you are capable of doing.
