"We cannot expect to touch excellence if “going through the motions” is the norm of our lives…Those who excel are those who maximize each moment’s creative potential. Whereas for an the average person, their true potential is revealed in a burst of insight in rare climactic moments when everything is on the line, for those who excel, everything is always on the line."
