A Quote by William J. Clinton

Effort, not ability, makes the biggest difference in achievement. — © William J. Clinton
Effort, not ability, makes the biggest difference in achievement.
You may find that making a difference for others makes the biggest difference in you.
We tell ourselves that skill is the precious resource and effort is the commodity. It's the other way around. Effort can trump ability-relentl ess effort is in fact something rarer than the ability to engage in some finely tuned act of motor coordination.
I'm often asked how I define "success." It's an overused term, but I fundamentally view this elusive beast as a combination of two things - achievement and appreciation. One isn't enough: Achievement without appreciation makes you ambitious but miserable. Appreciation without achievement makes you unambitious but happy.
I would say that when you go to the very, very top, it's an ability to come up with new ideas, with something new, to make the difference. Every world champion, every player who was traversing this universe, managed to bring something new to the game. This ability to always find some unconventional ways. That makes the final difference.
When we make the effort for each other, it makes the difference.
What we do with the things we have makes the biggest difference in the quality of life
Everyone makes a difference. Someone who does something for others makes a big difference. A person who has no self-interest to do things for others makes a bigger difference. But, one who does everything for everyone for the sake of humanity without vested interest makes a real big difference for sustainability.
What you are thinking, what shape your mind is in, is what makes the biggest difference of all.
Ryanair's biggest achievement? Bringing low fares to Europe and still lowering em. Biggest failure? Hiring me.
People often think that there's a general who makes all the difference, but I would reject that. It's a team effort. It's the power of the wedge.
Achievement does not require extraordinary ability. Achievement comes from ordinary abilities applied with extraordinary persistence.
It makes a big difference to recycle. It makes a big difference to use recycled products. It makes a big difference to reuse things, to not use the paper cup - and each time you do, thats a victory.
It makes a big difference to recycle. It makes a big difference to use recycled products. It makes a big difference to reuse things, to not use the paper cup - and each time you do, that's a victory.
The primary reason we do too much is that we have never taken the time to discover that portion of what we do that makes the biggest difference.
Almost everyone does just enough to get by. Those who achieve spectacular success also do enough to get by; then they add a little bit of extra effort. That little bit of extra effort makes an enormous difference.
Angry contradiction of the patriarch is not creativity; it's delinquency calling for attention. Difference for the sake of difference is as empty an achievement as slavishly following the commercial imperative.
