Sometimes a simple little snippet can point to larger life lessons. Sample this:

‘Aoccrdnig to a rseearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosnt mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are. The olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a  taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey ltteer by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.’

The road to success in life too is quite similar. Getting started is key. And learning to finish tasks is
priceless. The rest is, well, commentary.

I like the old saying that you don’t have to be great to get started but you have to get started to be
great. You can have the most fabulous ideas, some great plans, and the intent may never be in doubt.
But all that is worth nothing if you don’t get started. We often hesitate to get started, waiting for
everything to be in place. But remember that everything seldom falls into place!

Unfinished tasks are the biggest contributors to stress in the workplace. Learn to finish tasks. Get
them out of the way. If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly at first. Successful people
make it a habit to finish what they have started.

So if you have a big idea or a secret dream, take that first step. Today! Want to become a bestselling
author? Write the first chapter. Today! And take a look at your unfinished tasks, your to-do
list. Resolve to complete at least one of those tasks. Today!

Do that and see the difference. Life will begin to make a lot more sense.
