Shout out to fellow Okie and super Sooner fan Toby Keith, who announced his battle with cancer earlier this week. This seems like the perfect reason to talk about Toby’s song “As Good as I Once Was” and the success lessons that we can glean from it. A lifelong pursuit of success, competing with yourself (not anyone else) and how to add Kobe Bryant’s Mamba mentality to your pursuit of excellence. Let’s talk about it!
- 00:42 Toby Keith’s song “I may not be good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was”
- 02:32 Life is a continual pursuit of your best
- 05:12 You vs. You NOT You vs. Everyone
- 09:40 With a great effort, you can equal this previous standard
- 10:44 The mamba mentality of Kobe Bryant
- 11:22 Work Smart and Work Hard
- 12:44 Almost your best is better than most NOT Almost your best is good enough
- 17:05 Success is a side effect of working smart and working hard
- 18:00 Best is not a fixed point, but a pursuit
