I have a favorite saying that Clive Thirkill, a former Realms of Inquiry teacher, taught me...and I use it all the time: "Do more, better, before expected." This morning on FB, J.B. Fanjul shared the following advice he received from a friend that is a great complement to my favorite saying.
He said, "I can sum it up, in three words." He said, "The three words are AND THEN SOME. I discovered at an early age that most of the differences between average people and top people can be explained in these words. The top people do what is expected of them, AND THEN SOME. They are thoughtful and considerate of others, AND THEN SOME. They meet their obligations and responsibilities fairly and squarely, AND THEN SOME. They are good friends to their friends, AND THEN SOME. They can be counted on in an emergency, AND THEN SOME."
