Welcome to the next edition of Quote Vault and the 100th edition of the Book Brew series! The very first Book Brew post was launched almost exactly a year ago. Thank you for joining me on this journey of insights!
Wisdom in Action
Great accomplishments often lie in the details. These quotes show the importance of focus, discipline, and deliberate action in creating a meaningful and impactful life.
- “If you don’t care about tiny details, you’ll produce bad work because good work is the culmination of hundreds of tiny details. The world’s most successful people all sweat the small stuff.”
- “A mistake repeated more than once is a choice.”
- “Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. It’s a warning sign that your business is broken.”
- “Reliability is a superpower. Anyone can be a hero once - few can do the right thing, day in, day out.”
- “Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives.”
- “Satisfied needs do not motivate.”
- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, pg 241
Ponder This
- Are there small details in your work or life that you might be overlooking but could make a big difference if attended to?
