A lesson from Michael Phelps on Being A Success

Did you see Michael Phelps' reaction when he broke the record for most Gold Medals ever by an Olympian? Did you see it it? His reaction was amazing!

His reaction: He looked at the board displaying the results, took his cap and goggles off and stood in the pool catching his breath. That is it. He then got out of the pool and walked away. He had another race in less than an hour.

That was it. No jumping up and down. No screaming and yelling. No intervews. He walked away. He still had work to do.

And that is what I call "A SUCCESS"; not needing that pat on the back; not needing the recognition from your fans and peers; not needing recognition no matter how small or great your contribution.

To me the successful people in any organization are the ones who just keep delivering; they don't look for recognition and they don't sit around airing their list of accomplishments. They just continue to move forward getting the job done.

Michael Phelps got the job done yesterday; for his team, for his country and for himself. You would have never known it when he pulled off his cap and goggles and tossed them ever so gently up onto the pool deck.
