Quote of the Day
"It's a whole lot more satisfying to reach for the stars, even if you end up landing only on the moon."
KERMIT THE FROG in Before You Leap: A Frog's Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons
Do you have a goal? A target? A dream? We need to have a purpose in life. Make it is a purpose driven so that every day when we wake up, we had the strength to carry out the daily tasks.
I rememebered my mentor told me that we need to have a goal. As high as the stars above. Even if we can't settle at the star, but ended up with the moon is also better than not at all. He always use the analogy of scoring for A's in examination. Irregardless, if we aimed for straight A's, we might end up getting a straight B's or mixture of both. However, if we aimed for only B's we might settle down with the C's instead.
That's why I always do extra more, as the extra is for the bonus. Just like doing sales. If the quota is 1 million, let's make it for 1.25 million which will enable me to reach for the better. Not the worse.
That's what it means by going the extra mile. Speaking about extra mile, let me side track a bit. Not long ago, in my school there's a History teacher whom once commented that how obedience the citizen of Singapore. When they use the public toilet, they will not only flush once as requested by their prime minister, but twice. That is what the meaning of extra mile.
