- The Importance of Standards Over Feelings: David’s “50, 40, 10” concept emphasizes that showing up, having direction, and pushing through discomfort are what separate the truly committed from the rest in sports, business, and life.
Sound Bites
“You can outdo 50% of the people in this world by showing up more, showing up with a good attitude, showing up ready to rock and roll.”
“When we come to faith, we don’t automatically know how to share our testimony, but everyone can invite someone in, and the most important witness is how we live our lives.”
“Don’t worry about how you feel every day, because your feelings change every day...that doesn’t change who you are and what you bring to the table every single time.”
