Principles of High Perfomance

The other day I was reading Triathlete Magazine and I came across
11 PRINCIPLES that high performing athletes tend to live by. The more I read through them the more I thought that they are even more relevant for an entrepreneur than a triathlete -- so whether you are a triathlete or and entrepreneur -- I reckon that these principles are valuable and important:

1. Learning over ignorance
2. Simplicity over complexity
3. Proficiency over incompetence
4. Excellence over mediocrity
5. Process over results
6. Progress over deterioration
7. Decisiveness over vacillation
8. Balance over extremism
9. Efficiency over wastefulness
10. Confidence over self doubt
11. Humility over arrogance
