PIN CODE

For many things in life, you need to verify your identity by entering a password or a PIN code. This code lets the smartphone or ATM or website know that you are who you say you are. Every day, you have lots of opportunities to be who you say you are. When you are asked to prove your character, integrity, or discipline, choose to enter the correct PIN code and verify that you are that person.

IRON SHARPENS

In the same way that iron sharpens iron, people sharpen people. The most important role you have on any team is to sharpen your teammates—to make them better. You sharpen each other during the long hours on the track or in the pool, through the heat of the gridiron or the echoing squeaks of the basketball gym. You challenge each other to push farther than you think you can. You compete against one another not to put each other down, but to lift each other ever higher. You handle conflict without taking it personally. But why, when, and how do you do these things?

RESET BUTTON

One of the most powerful tools that you have at your disposal is a simple phrase. One that, if you let it, could change the course of your life. “It doesn’t have to be this way.” There are certainly circumstances that are out of your control. But as we’ve said before, though you may not be able to control every situation, you are in control of how you RESPOND to every situation. And the reset button isn’t always a one time thing. How many times have you tried and failed at something, only to have to keep attempting it again and again and again? The reset button is a muscle, just like anything else, and it needs to be exercised just like any other muscle.

UNCOMMON TOUGHNESS 

There are four main types of adversity, and each of them comes with its own common response. The problem with these common responses is that they usually hold you back or make things worse. When you choose to respond in uncommon ways instead, then you start to build uncommon toughness.
