“Four short words sum up
 what has lifted most successful individuals
 above the crowd: ‘ a little bit more.’
 They did all that was expected of them
 and a little bit more.”

– Attributed to: A. Lou Vickery

Rising above the mediocre middle is simple.  Just make it
your habit to deliver more than you promise and more than
is expected.  Going the extra mile is easy when you’re in
the mood. The challenge is doing so even when you don’t feel
like it.  The solution?  Practice until it becomes automatic.
