Don't Be A Sponge, Bob!

5/8/2020

A fully soaked sponge, when squeezed as hard as possible and as long a possible, will never lose all of its water.  Sponges are created to withhold approximately 20% of maximum capacity.  Squeeze and squeeze and squeeze and only 80% of the water comes out.  That is why sponges are always moist until they sit out long enough for the moisture to evaporate.  We are like a sponge.  No matter how hard we think we may work, and no matter when we think that we have reached our full capacity, there is still 20% remaining in us.  Our purpose should not be to work harder than others or to achieve some arbitrary goal, but to do our best to tap into that 20% that most won't.

​"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Thomas A. Edison, 1847 - 1931
