P. T. Barnum《Struggles and Triumphs》· Struggles and Triumphs · Leadership

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT.--Work at it, if necessary, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well _now_. The old proverb is full of truth and meaning, “Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.” Many a man acquires a fortune by doing his business thoroughly, while his neighbor remains poor for life because he only half does it. Ambition, energy, industry, perseverance, are indispensable requisites for success in business.
