Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Many people give up their work if they are told they can't succeed. Confront them with a difficulty and they seek the path of least resistance. It is the doing of things by half that is the ruination of millions. The world is crowded with people who don't do all they can. Half-hearted success is whole-hearted failure. Half-hearted work gives us half-hearted people who can neither live half a life nor make half a success.

The individual who puts only half their energy into their work finds that it is the other half that counts. The one who knows only half the things about their business finds that all the profits are in the other half. The one who only half tries (no matter what they are doing), also finds, when it is too late, that everything worthwhile is in the other half.
