In a world where mediocrity is becoming alarmingly common, it’s a refreshing change to encounter people who are willing to go the extra mile.
If we are lucky we encounter such people on a daily basis. A checkout clerk who is particularly courteous, a co-worker who helps you do something not in their job description, or even a family member who does something to lighten your load.
Going beyond what others expect of you can never be a bad thing. It’s a great principle to live by no matter who you are or what you do.
Your attitude is something that shines out beyond the boundaries of what you present to others. There’s nothing that beats the feeling when someone surprises you by going the extra mile.
Nature encourages the habit of going the extra mile. If every animal/plant in the ecosystem had a lazy attitude the world would end. It’s as if mother nature encourages working harder than is called for.
If every human on the planet adopted a philosophy of going the extra mile the world would undoubtedly be a better place.
Imagine a world were service is always courteous and delivered with a smile.
