Above and beyond
When life asks for a single measure of effort, give two, or
three. When just a little bit of patience and understanding
is called for, give a lot.<P>
When a small thing is expected of you, give more than what's
expected. Once you've worked yourself into a positive,
productive, value-creating state, keep it going for a
while.<P>
Every extra effort draws immense leverage from all the
ordinary efforts that have preceded it. Once you have
positive momentum established, it pays to make the most of
it.<P>
The longer you extend that momentum, the more powerful it
grows. In such a situation, even a small extra effort can
produce large and impressive results.<P>
If you stop when you've done just the bare minimum, you walk
away from all the momentum you've created. What a shame it
would be to waste something so valuable that you've worked
to create.<P>
Instead, choose to go above and beyond. You'll find that
every extra effort will add greatly to life's richness.<P>
