Rising above the mediocre majority 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, until you learn to love it, until it becomes who you are.

“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.”
