Quote of the Week

Rabbi Jared has come up with another one:

"Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, determined effort, and skilled expectations." -Anon

Talent may be an accident of birth and might open some doors, and luck might win you the lottery or some other occasional good fortune, but I agree that excellence is always a combination of intentions and effort.

If you are one of those who think you can rely on luck in life, that brings to mind two other similar quotes I've heard on the subject:  "Luck is the residue of design" and "The harder I work the luckier I seem to get."
