As my friend Leslie and I sit here in the cool crisp autumn air, we casually discuss what achievement means to us. What is clear right away is this is not a word whose meaning can be applied widely to the world.
Calculated risk: a chance of failure, which is estimated before some action is taken. Why not take this perspective instead?
Persistence is the key to achievement. Those that pull out all the stops continue on. Those that stretch themselves get further. Quantum achievement doesn’t just happen, it is earned.
