I’ve been a fan of Tom Peters for many years. I got the book “In Search of Excellence” from my mother several years ago and it really struck a chord.

I’ve been reading several manifestos from Change This and Tom Peters’ manifesto “The “PSF” is Everything” is simply great. It is one of those things that both fires me up and motivates me while at the same time I say to myself “of course, this stuff is obvious”.

He talks of making a dramatic difference and being a “dream merchant.” One of my favorite passages, life is “far too short … I don’t have the time to be bored.” Wow. I’ve never understood people’s acceptance of mediocrity. If you aren’t striving to be the absolute best at what you do then why even bother getting out of bed in the morning.
