Remember how Mom and Dad used to always harp at you when you were a kid to “Do your best.”?
You said the equivalent of “Yeah, Yeah…”
I am still their kid, even though I’m a man of a certain age- and they’re still “harping”, although now I use a different phraase: Dropping The Knowledge.
Mom and Dad sent this to me today, via email:
Excellence can be obtained if you
Care more that others think is wise
Risk more than others think is safe
Dream more than others think is practical
Expect more than others think is possible.
Excellent.
