Henry Ford is credited with saying, “If you think you can or if you think you can’t, you’re right.” Here's what that means to me:
Over the years, I've discovered that if I think I can make a difference through my work, I’ll likely do whatever is necessary to be excellent in my work and bring it into the world in a way that makes a difference.
On the other hand, if I don't think I can make a difference through my work, I’ll likely cut corners or otherwise NOT do whatever is necessary to bring my work into the world in a way that makes a difference.
So, Henry Ford was correct: “If you think you can or if you think you can’t, you’re right.”
Here's my ridiculous question of the day:
Do you think you can, or do you think you can't?
