Marlo Thomas has written a couple books about “The Right Words at the Right Time” in which people discuss something that someone said to them that stayed with them click here,
I can think of many “right words at the right time“ several of which are Buzzy-generated, but when it comes to work, I always think of something my buddy Dave Carlson once told me when I had just started a new job with him as my boss. Dave explained our job as being like that of Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill. “A good day is when we don’t lose any ground. A great day is when we can advance the rock up the hill any distance at all.”
That image has always stayed with me as a way of trying to get a little done every day! And at worst – not lose any ground at all! Thanks Dave!
