Over the next few days millions of people from around the world will sit down and try to figure out how to make 2006 a better year than they had in 2005.

Some will decide they need to work harder…even though they’re working pretty hard right now. Chances are that this decision won’t get the result they’re hoping for because working harder is almost never the answer.

Many will decide to make a New Year’s Resolution --- perhaps addressing the “usual suspects” like fitness or money. According to the experts, however, more than 90% will fail to achieve their resolutions, and most will give up by the end of January.

Then there’s a tragic group of folks who will think briefly about how they’d like to see things change…but will remember all of the years they’ve failed…and will simply do nothing, hoping that their “luck” will change for the better.

Finally, there’s a very small group of people who are determined that 2006 will be different. They are committed to real change in their lives…and real success in 2006. They are committed to a PLAN. They understand what Bobby Knight meant when he said, “The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.”

They understand what Bobby Knight meant when he said, “The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.”

Did he say this immediately before OR immediately AFTER he threw the chair?
