Decades ago, good work got good results. Now even excellent effort often fails, while only outstanding work gets remembered. A millisecond separates Olympic gold medalists from the forgotten, showing how tiny edges create disproportionate rewards.
Tony was saying, you know, 40, 50 years ago, you did a good job at work, you did a good job with your family, you got good results, right? You did an excellent job, you get excellent results. But these days, if you do a poor job, you get poor results. If you do a good job, you get poor results. If you do an excellent job, you get good results. But if you do an outstanding job, that's where you get all the rewards. And to jump from good to excellent, it's a big jump. But the jump from excellent to outstanding, it's only few more inches. But that's where the Olympian gold medalists that everyone remembers, they're a millisecond faster. Yeah, right. Second, third, fourth place, people don't even remember fourth place. Second and third, nobody remembers unless you're in the race, right? First place, you're a hero, a national hero, and you're 0.1 second faster than the guy who's not a national hero. It's a little jump to get from excellent to outstanding.
