The quality of your input – a measure of time, focus, commitment, passion, and knowledge – is rarely in a direct relationship with the quantity of the outcome.

That is to say, just because you are doing a good job, it does not mean you will be successful.

But the quality of your input is without failure in a direct relationship with the quantity of satisfaction, achievement, and fulfilment you get every single day.

And that is much more important than any outcome.

Actually, that is THE outcome.
