If you want to be the best salesperson, first you must be the best person. If you want to be the best dad or mom, first you must be the best person you can be for yourself. When you achieve best for yourself, then and only then can you be your best for others. I know it has a selfish twinge to it, but if you think about it long enough you will come to realize that your shortcomings in all of your endeavors stem from the fact you're not being the best person you can be first.
