“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when it is convenient. When you are committed to something, you accept no excuses.”
Ken Blanchard

Some of life’s greatest lessons come through failure… and greatness is often born in the rising from the ashes.
Everyone experiences personal and professional disappointments and setbacks. Those taking the time to critically and objectively examine and learn from their mistakes, applying those learnings to future endeavors, will inevitably be more successful. This truth is embodied by those from all walks of life who in their respective fields have achieved great success.

“Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.”
Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900)
Irish poet and playwright
“Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago.”
Bernard Berenson (1865 – 1959)
American art historian
Seemingly harsh words, but consider…
Consistency is an interesting word. We often think of it as a desirable quality but that really depends on one’s perspective. In today’s highly competitive business environment, product and service quality are continually advancing. Therefore, companies consistently meeting or exceeding customer expectations are necessarily improving; making their performance anything but consistent. Likewise, employees exhibiting seemingly consistent performance relative to the market are really improving while those whose performance is truly consistent fall behind.
So for the successful, the only true constant is change.
