Glistening Tears

At 211 degrees, water is hot.
At 212 degrees, it boils.
And with boiling water, comes steam.
And steam can power a locomotive.
One extra degree… makes all the difference.
And, the one extra degree of effort, in business and in life… separates.
It’s your life.
You are responsible for your results.
It’s time to turn up the heat.
To get what we’ve never had, we must do what we’ve never done.

212 degrees of attitude.
The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.

212 degrees of leadership
They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

212 degrees of commitment
If you will spend an extra hour each day of study in your chosen field, you will be a national expert in that field in five years or less.

212 degrees of belief
Belief fuels enthusiasm, and enthusiasm explodes into passion. It fires our souls and lifts our spirits.

212 degrees of focus
Having a simple clearly defined goal can capture the imagination and inspire passion. It can cut through the fog like a beacon in the night.

212 degrees of perseverance
Perseverance is not a long race: it is many short races one after another.

212 degrees of kindness
It is one of the most beautiful rewards in life… we can never help another without helping ourselves.

Practice kindness.
Cease complaining.
Pause and reflect.
Prune the diversions.
Attempt risks.

You are now aware.
You now have a target for everything you do.
It’s time to actively pursue your dreams.
