When things get good the temptation is to get lazy, undisciplined or take a break and stop walking.

Celebrate and get back to work.

Isn’t the hope that as good as it is right now will become the new normal?

Incremental breakthroughs come from consistent work.

Don’t get comfortable, don’t take things for granted, don’t relax and think that things will happen on their own without your effort and hard work, don’t get too familiar, don’t stop being hungry.

If you back off when things get good, the incremental breakthrough is relegated to a flash in the pan. One step forward two steps back.

Rather: one step forward, one step forward, one step forward…

As Steve Jobs said:

Stay foolish, stay hungry.
