How we do anything is how we do everything

One of the most successful people I know is also one of the most humble. His background is an auctioneer, realtor and real-estate investor.

Recently I asked him, how did you get so good at what you do? He responded. "Well first, I wanted to be an auctioneer. Secondly, I practiced everyday for 5 years by myself before I started. And third, I kept up with what was going on in the marketplace. One and two prepared me. But its the third point that separated me. I knew my business and I still do."

This humble 90 year old man is way more than just a paragraph. But it does remind me of the quote, "How you do anything is how you do everything". Just a reflection of a life well lived.
