President Obama the other day told everyone that no matter what level that they reach in life that you must keep going and not give up, that you still have more left in you, and you have more to give. This is really good advice and yet, he is not the only leader to other such words.
If you'll recall Winston Churchill often gave a speech about "never giving up" to colleges and universities in his day. President Reagan had a famous speech alerting people that "Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win!" All these great men were right then, and President Obama is right today.
Even if you have become the best in the world at what you do, you must remember there is still more to do, and the job will never be completed. Until humans live in a perfect utopia; there is still unfinished business; and being the best is not enough.
Giving it your all may not be enough either, as sometimes you have to go beyond and pony up, and rise to the occasion. Sometimes you have to go beyond your abilities, and push yourself to greater heights. Isn't that what President Obama did?
This is what separates the men from the boys, and the good from the great. I hope you will understand what all these men were saying, and why Obama is repeating that message today. These are time tested and proven antidotes for the human endeavor. Don't waste your life experience, go beyond and enjoy being one with these other great man at the top. Please consider all this.
