The habit of always doing your best regardless of how unimportant the task is a habit of the successful. As Abraham Lincoln once said: "I always prepared myself for the opportunity I knew would come my way." As his career attests, devotion to excellence in all things, even when it seems that the world will little note nor long remember the small tasks in which you find yourself engaged, can have its rewards. The individual can and does make a difference, even in this populous, complex world of ours. The individual can make things happen. It's the individual who can bring a tear to our eyes and cause us to take pen in hand. It is the individual who has acted or tried to act who will not only force a decision, but have a hand in shaping it. Whether the individual acts in the legal, governmental, or private realm, one concerned and dedicated person can meaningfully affect what some say is an uncaring world. So be a full participant in life's opportunities. Aim high. If you strive for excellence you can and should have a substantial impact on the world in which you live.
