The mathematics of high achievement

Summary

"The mathematics of high achievement" refers to the idea that success in any field or endeavor requires a systematic and strategic approach, much like solving a mathematical problem. It emphasizes the importance of careful planning, diligent effort, and continuous learning to reach one's goals. Just as solving a complex equation requires a series of logical steps and the application of specific formulas, achieving greatness also demands discipline, precision, and perseverance. This quote reminds us that success is not random but a result of deliberate actions and a calculated path towards our desired outcome.

Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things.
