Dr. Marting Luther King, Jr. once said, "If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'"
All too many people are satisfied with medocrity. If that is the case, their difference is negative. Not only do the acheivers make a difference, the mediocre do too. Everyone makes a difference and if you are on a team where everyone is striving to make a positive difference, you are on a winning team.
As Dr. King implied, it doesn't really matter what it is that you do, but it greatly matters how you do it. If you spend every day trying to make a positive difference, you will. If you approach both your work life and personal life with that same zeal for a positive impact, you will achieve great things.
