Stop Focusing On The Trees and Look At The Forest
On December 16th I wrote about Malcum Gladwell’s important new book, “Outliers”. If you found that posting of interest, you will enjoy the Charlie Rose interview of Malcum Gladwell.
The one of the themes in Outliers (hard work) brings to mind a limerick my high school sophomore English teacher read as part of her daily poetry reading:
Good better best,
Never let it rest,
Till your good is better,
And your better is best.
Belief in the message of the limerick has been one of the driving forces in any element of success I have achieved in my life.
