There is a difference between "good" and "great" !

Thought: The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.

Biblical text: "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." (Ecclesiastes 9:10)

Charles F. Kettering, a noted scientist and inventor, believed that the easiest way to overcome defeat was simply to ignore completely the possibility of failure and to keep forging ahead.

He once gave an address to Denison University on this theme. He told how he had once given a tough project assignment to a young researcher worker in a laboratory at General Motors. He wanted to see how the man would react to a difficult problem so he kept from him notes about the project that had been filed in the lab's library. These notes, written by expert researchers, included various sets of statistics and formulas that proved the assignment the young man had been given was impossible to do.

The young researcher worker set his mind to the project, and worked virtually night and day for weeks. He refused to give up or think the project impossible. One day he came confidently to Kettering to show his work. He had succeeded in doing the impossible!

A little extra time?a little extra effort?a little extra care?a little extra attention sometimes makes all the difference between success and failure, and not only that, but the difference between good and great.
