Motivational Power Quote

 

The Secret of Greatness 

 

"The secret of greatness is simple:

do better work than

any other man in your field -

and keep on doing it."

Wilfred A. Peterson

  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The secret of greatness is simple.

Make the commitment to do better work than anyone in your field. Continually move in the direction of excellence in your daily activities. Never settle for a second best effort, step up and stand out.   

Your best is required.  

Keep doing what you do best, don't give up and don't stop. Continuously strive in the direction of your desired outcomes.

Greatness is a continued journey of personal commitment and effort.

Unlock your greatness.

Lou  -- Well said!  In my opinion, you correctly place the emphasis on the effort to be great ... not necessarily the results of those efforts.

Lou, this is a great quote and I agree that the secret to success is to do what you do better than anyone else. And that does not apply just to the technicalities of the job, but to the way you treat your customers and vendors, the level of customer service you provide, and how ethical you are in all your personal and business dealings.
