Discovery Of Kipling Quote In LeaderShift
- Brian searched the Heroic app and found he hadn't previously discussed Kipling's If, but he did find Kipling quoted in John Maxwell's LeaderShift.
- This discovery led him to share the Kipling quote about desire and bargaining over price.
Not Getting It Means Desire Or Price Is Missing
- If you don't get what you want, it either means you didn't seriously want it or you bargained over the price.
- Brian Johnson quotes Rudyard Kipling (via John Maxwell) to show failure often signals weak desire or unwillingness to pay the cost.
