The working world is littered with the careers of people who didn't listen to Gates (or probably their mothers who offered the same advice).

When I feel my motivation lag, the one thing I don't do is pay close attention to others who seem to be excelling.

Earnings per share is only half the equation for profits. It matters how effectively you allocate capital -- how you invest in equipment or R&D -- and the returns you get on those investments. But most companies don't have a methodology or process for measuring this kind of ROI. The key is to develop a robust valuation methodology, apply it using sophisticated optimization tools, and create a comprehensive governance process to support the efforts.
