Performance is more important than pedigree....

• Producing tangible outputs at the end of the day really matter
• Tall talkers hardly contribute anything to a system
• An efficient and competent professional does not have to work hard, he only works smart
• Pedigree sometimes is a barrier to growth, as attitudes sometimes are very poor
• Performance requires clear understanding of the subject matter & an ability to summarize and converging thinking
• A performer hardly uses any excuse to shirk his or her duties
• To a performer, time-management skills really matter
