A Quote by Henry Mintzberg

Never set out to be the best. It's too low a standard. Set out to be good. Do Your best. — © Henry Mintzberg
Never set out to be the best. It's too low a standard. Set out to be good. Do Your best.
I never set out to beat the world. I just set out to do my absolute best.
I set goals, but they're mostly very personal goals. I never try and set a goal where 'I want to win this,' or 'I want to do this,' where other people can affect what I do. If I want to swim a new best time, I sit down and work out the best way of doing that. Whether I can shave a few tenths of a second off a turn or the start, my goal is putting them all together in a race. That's the way I set my goals.
I didn't set out to beat the world; I just set out to do my absolute best.
We're all out to set our best foot forward and to make NXT the best we possibly can, but at the end of the day, we all want to have the best match.
I never set out to be CEO. I always set out to be a good team member, a good colleague.
Only the mediocre are always at their best. If your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. But if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. It is okay to not win every game. The only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. Keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. If you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.
And when you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. Don't just set out to do a good job.
We have a large underclass in Britain, and a fairly low standard of education. Our best universities are extremely good, but a very significant proportion of the British population that comes out of compulsory schooling with very low standards of education.
Believe in the best ... have a goal for the best, never be satisfied with less than your best, try your best, and in the long run things will turn out for the best
When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard.
Set your expectations and goals so high that people think they're impossible, that's when you know you set them too low.
If you set out to meditate, it will not be meditation. If you set out to be good, goodness will never flower.
And I would never set myself out to be the best parent or the greatest man.
One set at extreme intensity does the muscle-building job. It must be stressed that the one final, all-out set I do takes me to the very limit of my capabilities. If you feel you can attempt a second set, then you couldn’t have been pulling out all the stops during the first set. It's not pretty, but it works.
Senator Jon Kyl has given all of the eventual candidates in this race an excellent model of how to best serve Arizona and the country. He's set the bar extremely high, and I'll do my best to meet that standard.
Set the tone for your day be treating people better than you expect to be treated by them. Be the first to smile. Express your appreciation for them. Expect the best out of them. If you act first, you will set yourself up for success.
