"I always tried to go a step past wherever people expected me to end up" ~Beverly Sills
Don't let others' expectations stop you short of where you can go. It's that little bit more, that extra step that makes you stand out from the crowd. How can you exceed expectations and do more than is expected?

I liked the quote about going the extra mile- there is very little traffic. That is pretty spot on and seen less and less these days. I always try to leave things better than I found them or leave a person with a smile and a good comment. I am not always successful, but I try. Morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs

Sir, I always tell myself “it’s better to be unsuccessful, than not having tried at all and always having to wonder the “what if”.” Have a great day Sir!
