Perspective. RF is spot on

I love commencement addresses (or at least a lot of them). Roger Federer gave one at Dartmouth a few days ago -- if you have time, I recommend it (https://lnkd.in/eUw9VvNj). But here's what resonated the most to me -- "In tennis, perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches (it was actually 82%; Roger is self-deprecating). Now, I have a question for all of you... what percentage of the POINTS do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%. In other words, even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play. When you lose every second point, on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot." He goes on to say that as important as each shot is, once it's done, it's over. This allows you the freedom to concentrate on the next, and focus, and give it your best -- whether that's the next shot, the next day, the next presentation, the next product. Combine that with Ted Lasso's 10 second memory goldfish -- and you just might conquer the world. #federer #perfectionisimpossible #goldfish #tedlasso

Hear what Roger Federer has to say: "In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches... Now, I have a question for all of you... what percentage of the POINTS do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%. In other words, even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play." Just think about it. Almost 50% failure in anything you try even if you are top class professional. You have to stop fearing failure. And more importantly you have to stop dwelling on failure by moving on to your next shot. It's only a point you lost, not the game! Brilliant lesson to learn today for anyone who wants to be a professional at anything. Salute to Roger Federer for these amazing life lessons. #failure #rogerfederer #tennis #lifelessons #success #grit ----- Video credit: Tennis Channel Twitter Feed Quote credit: Transcript provided by Dartmouth.
