"An extra step"
Jan-19-05, 08:01 PM (EST)
Whenever your tempted to give a little less to a task than necessary, do yourself a favor and give a little more than necessary.If you're going to miss the mark, overshoot it rather than undershooting it.Go a little beyond instead of falling a little short.
Take the extra step.Make one more phone call.Write one more page.Greet one more customer.work a few more minutes,run a little faster. add a few more details. Do a great job and then add a little bit to it.That little extra bit at the end will add value to the entire effort. It provides enormous leverage and a great return for the small amount of time involved.The extra effort is tiny. The additional rewards are great.
Bring value to your work and to your life by giving just a little bit extra to every effort.Over time,those extra efforts will add up and pay off. Rather than focusing on how little you can get away with, direct your attention to how much you can accomplish. Take an extra step.Go the extra distance.Build on top of what you've already created and the rest will be magnificant.
Bill Mindas just joined our team last week, and we feel honored to have him. This morning around 11am the van Bill was driving was struck head on by a drunken driver, driving on the wrong side of a four lane road in Louisville. The drunk driver’s speed was estimated at 60 mph. Bill was driving about 35 mph. We are very lucky that he is still with us. The other driver was helicoptered to the hospital and may not live.
My wife just called from the hospital to report that Bill has a cracked sternum, at least one cracked rib, and has been given morphine for pain. Bill was driving one of our E-350 diesel vans. The front right tire is now totally beneath the passengers seat. The other cars entire doghouse is flattened all the way up to the windshield.
The next time that annoying buzzer goes off reminding you to use your seatbelt...heed the warning. According to the officer investigating the accident, the combination of the seat belt and air bag saved Bills life.
Lets all keep Bill in our thoughts and wish him a speedy and total recovery.
