One of the critical decisions of every career:"Well, there's plenty more to do, I'll do the least I can here and then move on to the next one."vs."I only get to do this one, once.
So I'll do it as though it's the last chance I'll ever have to do this work, to please this customer, to ring this bell."...

Seth Godin is always inspiring!
Never forget to take time to take a step back from your work and assess how you're doing. It gives you a chance to remove the short sighted blinkers and see the bigger picture. While it is easy to get drawn into routine and perhaps stopping short of delivering excellence on occasions, it is also possible that you have not been appreciating the fine work you have been producing and that should give the strength, confidence and encouragement to maintain that standard.
