But you're right.
A lot of times there's a big rush to move ahead.
And that a lot of times also brings sloppy work, incomplete work.
And honestly, just a feeling that I don't.
Not really confident promoting that person because they're more interested in what they are going to be doing than what we need to do right now.
How would you define discipline?
Discipline is doing the right thing over and over again, doing it every time.
It's just continuing to do it every time.
In the National Football League, the players are very skilled and talented.
And I would say, you know, all of them can do something.
They can all go out there and produce, you know, plays at a very high level.
The discipline is what really separates the players is their consistency and their discipline to do it over and over again.
So you can count and depend on them, you know, at a very high and high rate.
Well, I mean, I told the story of Edelman, you know, catching balls before the Super Bowl, tennis balls and stuff like that.
I mean, those kind of things that, you know, the players do, they have a routine.
And, you know, if a guy's played eight, nine, ten, whatever years, if they skip a day in their routine, I mean, is it going to be the end?
No.
Probably not, but they're just so disciplined and so consistent to just continue to do it and maybe even do just a little tiny bit more to make sure that they're prepared for the game, especially the big games, that that's just who they are.
So, I mean, I really respect that, but, you know, it's a little bit like the shopping cart, you know,
when nobody's looking, are you going to take a shopping cart back and put it in the, you know, where it belongs or just leave it there in the middle of the parking lot?
