In 1961 John W Gardner published a book called Excellence – Can we be equal and excellent too? it was revised in 1995.
When my parents moved a few years ago my Dad passed it along to me.
There is an inscription inside from my Grandparents “We hope the thoughts expressed so well in this book will be helpful to all of you, all your lives.”
This post isn’t actually about the book. I’ts about the idea that some books have a huge impact on how we think, work, and live.
Sometimes we reread them regularly for inspiration and motivation.
Others have a phrase we remember and quote for the rest of our lives.
and there are the books that we completely forget about, run across them later, and pick them back up.
Today – find one of those books and open it to a random page and you may be surprised to find the words you needed to make today better… more successful… solve a problem you’ve been wrestling with for a while.
(for me – it was; what am I going to write about for today’s blog?)
