“Look, there are no shortcuts
in golf, and there are no shortcuts in life. You have to work for it. Dream big
and keep your dreams for yourself. Because the dreams that you have are those
things that separate you from others. If you give up your dream, you give up
hope. And without hope, you are nothing.” ―Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods rose like a
phoenix in golf history. Although almost everyone appreciated his talents and
abilities in golf, they doubted his comeback because of his past sex scandals
and controversies. He proved his critics wrong by winning the Masters golf
tournament on April 14, 2019. Presently people appreciate his epic performance.
He was like a cannon on the battlefield when he entered the golf scene but
fizzled out during the course of his professional career and bounced back with
his grit and determination.
Leadership
Lessons from Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods was bedridden due
to his back injury. His family life was in shambles. His morale was all time
low. There was no support for him literally. His comeback is one of the most
inspiring stories in sports history. He proved that everything is possible in
the world when you are passionate about your profession and work hard
relentlessly with commitment and excellence. Here are some leadership lessons
to learn from his life.
- Dream big to achieve
big.
- Have strategic planning
and focus on your core strengths and invest your efforts consistently.
- Visualize yourself as a
successful person.
- Be resilient. Treat failure
as a comma, not a full stop. Remember that every failure is a stepping
stone to your success.
- Raise your bar.
- Be passionate, patient
and persistent.
- Take feedback, learn
lessons from failures, and reinvent your strategies to stay relevant and
successful.
- Never give up.
In a nutshell, don’t criticize,
complain and condemn others. Apologize when you are wrong. Take remedial
action. Be part of the solution, not the problem. Be simple and humble. Remember
that no person is entirely good and no person is entirely bad. At times,
circumstances compel people to do certain wrong things.
Convert
Your Scars into Stars
Nothing will stop the people
whose dreams are bigger and stronger. Appreciate Tiger Woods’ grit, determination,
perseverance, and resilience. Although his life was ridden with several
controversies he bounced back successfully thus becoming a source of
inspiration for many people in the world. Therefore, learn lessons from his
life to become a successful human and sportsperson. To conclude, look at the
rising sun, not the setting sun. There is always a silver lining over the dark
cloud. Convert your scars into stars.
