All great achievements are the result of sustained focus over time-all of them.

Your work life is divided into two distinct areas - what matters most and everything else. You will have to take what matters to the extremes and be okay with what happens to the rest. Professional success requires it.

Extraordinary results happen only when you give the best you have to become the best you can be at your most important work.

Think as big as you possibly can and base what you do, how you do it, and who you do it with on succeeding at that level. It just might take you more than your lifetime to run into the walls of a box this big.

A different result requires doing something different.

Success is actually a short race-a sprint fueled by discipline just long enough for habit to kick in and take over.

If disproportionate results come from one activity, then you must give that one activity disproportionate time.
