212 the extra degree, what is this all about ? as you may ask. Some might look at the picture and observe there some smoke. Yes, it is! That is smoke; you're right that is smoke. But what kind of smoke?
Well if you guess that it is smoke from the steam, you are right. So, how then it signifies? Imagine the water, it became hot at 211 degrees and at 212 degrees it boils, consistent boiling comes steam, with steam creates force or can power a locomotive as the book is stated.
Some people don't know where to start or how to start though they have the best in them. Most people don't appreciate what they have and lose sight of their goals, some loss the heat of their passion. Like a hot water, it can be useful but can not generate enough power, unlike steam. A simple metaphor for ourselves with our extra effort, persistent, perseverance, and focus. All these, when applying to an extra degree would result in great or exponential success.
Just willing to do what you've never done before, doing outside your comfort zone to do the extra of everything to see great result.
There are especial quotes that fire up my motivation from this book; these are:
"To get what we've never had, we must do what we've never done."
"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance."
"The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it possible."
Always remember to put an extra degree in all you do, it will have a great result in long term.
Let your leadership strengthen and your ethic shine!
