Never You Never Know It

On my way to office today I passed a beauty salon in the center of Amsterdam with a excruciatingly ugly painting in the window.

I wondered how it got there. What probably happened is that the store owner thought:

I can’t paint but there is nothing stopping me from giving it a try.
Lets see what I can produce.
Maybe it will be a masterpiece!
You never know!

The truth is you know exactly.
It won’t be a masterpiece.
Not unless you let go of that ‘You never know’ attitude.

Great inventions, products and companies come from passion and dedication. Nothing happens by accident. Picasso, Jobs and Mozart didn’t get lucky.

If you think ‘This probably won’t work but lets do it anyway’ then don’t even try it. Only do things when you are passionately committed to making them happen.

Words of Wisdom.

Passion and dedication, that is all there is to it.

I totally agree on that Boris and unfortunately there are loads of “picasso’s” out there.
Passion for excellence is a key ingredient for the ultimate success!

Best,

It’s as the saying goes: “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.”
