The Extra Degree

Oh whoa... I need a breather.. its just been non-stop busy bee...work, planning for the wedding party, advising clients on the birth of their new companies, liaising with London... phew phew phew....

Both Irwin and I have been really busy with work. When certain details were not finalized with the hotel, my father-in-law gave us some nice wine & then started telling the story of The Extra Degree.

Basically, its along the lines of how the extra degree can make all the difference.

At 98°C, water is not.
At 100°C, water boils.

And with boiling water, comes steam.
And with steam, you can power a train.

With that extra 2°C --> it can produce exponential results and ignite something wonderful.

He went on to elaborate how humans typically perform up to 98% of effort required, not realizing that with that extra 2% level of effort, it would produce exponential results. Following up on the 98% already put in, and adding in that 2% can have a tremendous impact on results.

So, Irwin & I try to put in new levels of effort in everything we do now. A little more effort to produce steam, that can power a train! not exactly, but you get it.

The Smiley Man


Oh ya, thats my hubby. Hosted a dinner back last month, and received this cool gift.

His first instinct as we explored the gift was "take a pic, take a pic". Turned out pretty funny I must say. Can't complain when you have a humourous partner =)
