I thought (wrongly) that my role was to give advice, until I gained some wisdom and realized there was something more that was needed.

I'm a big fan of best-selling author Harvey Mackay. He writes about business, sales and leadership and typically ends his articles with a moral of the story. Culled from his writings of the past three and half years, here are some of my favorites of his moral of the story endings: Change your thinking, change your life. It's not enough to know how to do things - you must know why you do them.

You might have already heard or realized the importance of the last 1% of effort that is required to make a huge difference. You might win a race or a deal based on the last 1% at stake. The last 1% is important – actually very important. But…. There is a “hidden trap” that you need to avoid while discussing the last 1%. The trap is that when you lose something you can easily cop out and say that you didn’t make the last 1% count else you would have won.
