From Tom Peters...

100 Ways to Succeed-  #6

"Consider this a variation on a debate in the Tom Peters weblog over the number of priorities a person can have.  Well, I 'm settling it.

One!

Here's the deal.  It's 5 a.m. (09.28.2004) as I write. I have a day crammed full of miscellaneous (that dreaded word!) activities ahead, ending with a flight from Boston to London.  But the ... THE...Pressing Question is:  What Will (in one sentence) THE LEGACY OF THIS DAY HAVE BEEN FOR TP?

Yes, I believe a Single Day can have as much of a "legacy" as a lifetime.  In fact, that had better be the case!  Why?  Because the day ... stretching out before me ... filled (at the moment) with limitless opportunities ...is...ALL I HAVE!

RIGHT?

JUST ANOTHER DAY?

HARDLY!

THIS IS IT!

All those things ... grand and numdane ... I want to do with my life will either be abetted or thwarted or put off or ignored int he course of ...THIS ONE, UNFURLING DAY.

So:  What (One Sentence) will Today's Legacy be ... for You?"
