Sometimes it seems like just doing a good job isn’t enough. Even though you’ve hit your stride; even though you are having fun with it; even though you know that what you’ve done is your best work; you find that you’re aiming at the wrong target. Success comes not from just doing things right. Although that is a key ingredient, it is critical that you are focusing on the right things.
