They always come through in the clutch

Hey Guys,
If you’ve been on my list for any extended period of time, you know I’m a huge football fan. And you also know I’ve been consistently critical of both Brett Fa-vor and Peyton Manning in the playoffs, two regular season heroes who always find a way to send their teams home from the playoffs.
And, like they do every year, both of them did it again, making plays directly responsible for their team losing a game they should have won.

What if everything you ever thought you knew about dating and relationships was just plain wrong? Would you keep doing the same things and getting the same results? Or would you try something new and radically different? To stop dating, and

People rarely change their ways good or bad, and consistent recurring patterns of behavior run deep. In fact, people won’t change unless they’ve changed something in the past and not too many people have that skill (it’s a good one to learn, by the way).
When he was at Tennessee, Manning was criticized for his inability to win the big game—in fact, the year after he left Tennessee won it with Tee Martin, who made zero impact in the NFL.
Manning has continued his ways in the NFL, putting together amazing regular season games, and a few playoff victories against clearly inferior teams. But when the bright lights come on, he always finds a way to wilt in the end, just like Brett Fa-vor.
This isn’t going to change. Every year the girlie men in the sports media make a huge production about him, Fav-or, and Donovan McNabb and every year the same thing happens—all of them send their teams home from the playoffs.
The same thing happens with people in everyday life—they’re wowed by physical beauty, smooth talkers, snappy dressers, and people who look good. But you cannot make decisions about people based on this—you have to make decisions based on their past performance under duress because it will always resurface.
That pretty earnest woman who cheated on her last three boyfriends? Yes, she’ll do it to you. The smooth talking investment advisor who always loses money for his clients? He’ll lose yours too. The well dressed, well groomed friend who always finds a way to stick others with the tab? He’ll stick you with it too.
The lesson outside of football is obvious. You have to look past all the pomp and circumstance of people and go by their true results. For example, I cannot stand the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I will be the first to admit that Ben Roethlisberger is one of the best clutch, championship quarterbacks in league, even while he violates all the rules of good quarter-backing.
Evaluating people for who they really are is one of the most powerful success skills you’ll ever learn. It’s not easy, and it can be painful, but in the end it is well worth it.
After all, you live your life by the results you really get, not by the ones you should get.
On with the fun…
