Learning Again From Tiger

A few weeks back we talked about learning from Tiger's mistakes and how cheating can ruin your life.

Today I want us to look at and learn from something really important that Tiger said in Friday's "press conference".

There has been a lot of debate regarding the sincerity of Tiger's speech. I think everyone agrees that he's sorry that he got caught, but not everyone is convinced that he's sorry he cheated.

But what I want to focus on is this quote. (Speaking of his wife) - "My apology to her will not come in the form of words. It will come from my behavior over time."

That was actually the most insightful thing he said during the 13 minutes. You might find yourself in a situation where your relationship is on the rocks. Words are empty now because promise after promise has been broken. Now, the only thing that matters is your behavior. And...not just a flash in the pan change, but long term behavior change.

Unfortunately for many, that is a reality that cannot be avoided. Stick with it. It's worth it in the end.

Stay in touch -

Mark
