About This Talk
Most of us grew up believing that giving 100 percent is the mark of excellent effort. Chris challenges that idea, arguing that 100 percent is really average, a neutral point where we are neither slipping back nor moving ahead. He asks listeners to aim north of 100 and see what kind of return they get from life.
Key Ideas
- Many of us were taught that 100 percent is excellence, but Chris sees it as average effort.
- At 100 we stand still; 99 means moving backward, and 101 means moving forward.
- When you think about excellence, think north of 100 and see what return you get out of life.
“Our success in anything we do is really all about the extra effort.”
