In order to get the winning edge , we need to strive for excellence, not perfection. Striving
for perfection is neurotic; striving for excellence is progress, because there is nothing that
can't be done better or improved.
All that we need is a little edge. The winning horse in the races wins 5-to-1 or 10-to-1. Do
you think he is five or ten times faster than the other horses? Of course not. He may only
be faster by a fraction, by a nose, but the rewards are five or ten times greater.
Is it fair? Who cares? It doesn't matter. Those are the rules of the game. That is the way
the game is played. The same is true in our lives. Successful people are not ten times
smarter than the people who fail. They may be better by a nose, but the rewards
are ten times bigger.
We don't need to improve 1,000% in any one area. All we need is to improve 1% in 1,000
different areas, which is a lot easier. That is the winning edge!
