Pursuing Excellence

by Tom Peters

Take time out for daydreaming—it’s where you can find the seeds of excellence
— @tom_peters

The epigraph of my most recent book is a quote by American statesman Henry Clay: “Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart.” You can be a tough son of a gun in business but be decent and kind and thoughtful.

Kindness is free. Thoughtfulness is free. And people will remember that kindness thirty years later.
