Have you ever had someone go above and beyond for you? From as small as an extra smile during an exchange with a stranger to someone showing up in a big way when they didn’t have to, when people go the extra mile, it leaves an impression.
I like to call this the “also principle.” The “also principle” is the concept of going over and above as a way to live. It’s asking the right questions at the right time. It’s noticing what people need and volunteering to give it even when they don’t ask.
The “Also Principle” seeks to do more when more is within reach. It’s as if you are willing to say, “I’ve done my duty, but ALSO, what else can I do to go above and beyond what’s required?”
You only get this one life, and the only thing that will be here after you’re done is the impression you left.
So, if you are going to leave an impression, sprinkle a little “also” on it so that it’s a good one.
