Survival and Winning
I read this story on Dailyspeculations, Jim Sogi posted it there. The original words are of Lewis Carroll. Read it here.
This crisp anecdote sums up the importance of perseverance and excellence at surpassing oneself over and over again. I wonder how many people are doing their best all the time and yet every year they find themselves at the same place. It does require “one extra step” to reach the goal and yeah, it does include shifting the goal-post every time you reach one.
