Never Settle For Anything But the Best
I love this story:
Henry Kissinger asked an aide to prepare a report for him. The aide toiled away until his report was finished. Not long after receiving the report, Mr. Kissinger returned it to the aide with a note that read, “Redo it.”
The aide worked day and night and redid the report. Again, it was delivered to Mr. Kissinger, who, again, returned it with the same note.
The diligent aide redid the report and asked to see Mr. Kissinger, himself, face to face. After handing over the report, the aide told him, “I have completed this report three times, and this is the best job I can do.”
Kissinger replied, “In that case, I’ll read it now.”
I’d say the moral of the story is to never, ever, ever settle for less than the best - from anyone else OR from yourself. Yes, even if you have to make an arse of yourself.
By the by, I apologize for the infrequent posts lately - I’ve been busy dodging some pretty heavy spitballs from life for one thing. For another, I’ve been redoing TMFC and working on Self Help Daily’s Articles Section.
