The true test of a person's efforts, thoughts, etc. is the acheived results. Many times people intend certain things, think that they can do more than they can, etc. But all that is left in the end are results of actions. What will we be measured on? We are measured on what we accomplish, not what we intend. The cliche is that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Unfortunately, cliches reduce the impact of truths. As a society we need to be more results-oriented and focus on what we are accomplishing with each thought, act, etc.
Never confuse movement with progress.
Always be impeccable with your word.
Never assume anything.
Never take anything personally.
Always do your best.
Be willing to show up and suck until you can show up and shine.
