Samuel Langley, an intelligent and famous university professor, was working hard to invent a flying machine. Even the U.S. government betted on his success by awarding him a hefty grant.

Meanwhile, 2 uneducated men were working on the same problem. Neither had a college degree—not to mention internet access or university laboratory. These are the Wright brothers–and the rest is history.

So the next time I THINK I’m handed nothing more than a shoestring to fulfill the strategy/business goal/vision/…, I ALREADY possess the necessary assets.

Doing more with less works better than doing less with more. Relentless pursuit demands a strong sense of purpose.
