           David and Saul were very close friends. They loved to do things together. If you saw David enter a room, you could be certain that Saul was not far behind.

Although their activities were the same, their degree of success was not. David usually outperformed Saul. It wasn’t a matter of physical strength, mental prowess, or financial ability that made the difference. It was a matter of attitude.

When Saul and David prepared for registration at school, both studied the varied offerings in the course manual. Saul was careful to note the requirements. How many hours of class time were required? How frequently were exams given? What papers and projects would be assigned during the term?  He wanted to be sure he could deliver what was expected.

David, on the other hand, was not as concerned about what he would have to do to complete a course. He evaluated course offerings based on what he could learn during the semester. He was not worried about what would be asked of him, because he always did more—over and above what was asked—to fulfill his obligations.

A person’s success in the school of life will be commensurate with what one does on his or her own. Great achievers do more than they have to do. There are very few, if any, super-successful individuals who did just what was required. If your work is average, you will be average. If your effort is above average, you will rise to the top.
