Water (Concentration, Persistence) - Mandino, Augustine "Og"

"The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything. Drops of water, by continually falling, hone their passage through the hardest of rocks but the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar and leaves no trace behind."
- Augustine "Og" Mandino (Italian/American author, b. 1923 - d. 1996)
