WHY 100% EFFORT SO IMPORTANT

The following comes from "The Success Principles," by Jack Canfield and is a passout we give to our players. Each year we add different statistics to prove our point that 100% commitment is important:

This powerful 100% commitment also figures critically in other important areas -- for instance, the workplace. Consider what a commitment to just 99.9% quality would mean in the following work situations. It would mean:

...one hour of unsafe drinking water every month.

...two unsafe landings at O'Hare International Airport each day.

...16,000 lost pieces of mail each hour.

...20,000 incorrectly filled drug prescriptions every year.

...500 incorrect surgical operations performed each week.

...50 newborn babies dropped at birth by doctors every day.

...22,000 checks deducted from the wrong account each hour.

...your heart failing to beat 32,000 times each year.

Can you see why 100% is such an important percentage? Just think how much better your life and our team would work if you were committed to 100% excellence in everything you do.
