I This book would be a great blog post. I love this analogy Again, would be a great blog post or blog series, but it's just an "eh" book. Jul 04, Shannan rated it it was ok Shelves: business. This was required reading for my new job. It's an easy and mostly cheesy read. I get it. Work hard. Put in the extra effort. Don't give up. Sometimes it's that "extra degree" of effort that causes extraordinary results. That said, sometimes boiling water is too hot.
Ever had a cup of coffee or tea that you had to let cool? No one wants to be scalded. No one can live with that intensity, and the people a This was required reading for my new job. No one can live with that intensity, and the people around you will find you annoying.
This silly little book makes its point on the cover, but if you are required to read the pages in between, it will go quickly. Apr 17, Jeffrey Mung added it. I was asking myself a question "Why am I be given this book" the i realized that everyone seems to believe that incapable of success.
And with boiling water comes steam. And with steam you can power a train" I was given this book this book because it was given for people who are too lazy to go and get what they want and have no motivational drive what so ever. I guess i'm lazy and there are a whole bunch of people out there who are just like I was asking myself a question "Why am I be given this book" the i realized that everyone seems to believe that incapable of success.
I guess i'm lazy and there are a whole bunch of people out there who are just like me. On the verge of giving up. People who tell the,selves that they are incompetent and need others to rely. A total of pages - mostly pictures or phrases.
The whole gist of the book is that at degrees, water is very hot, but at degrees that hot water turns into a boil. It's all about going that extra degree in everything you do in life.
It really is a good idea, but not as good as selling the idea into a book in order to make a lot of money. Nov 23, Benoit Marinoff rated it it was ok. I really liked this quick read. I had never heard of it, but I enjoyed the little tidbits that were encompassed within its covers. You are responsible for your results.
It's time to turn up the heat. Some good life lessons. Complain once less a day chokes off seeds of negativity. Remove 2 distractions a week. Take one risk a week.
Visit or talk to a friend each week. Invest 15 minutes in your children. The secret to success is to do what you can "and then some". Go the extra degree. Imagine the possibilities of doing "some more" each day. Other books are so long. Sometimes you can spend all day on them and end up with something that tastes horrible that you end up throwing out.
