The Extra Degree

At 211 degrees, water is hot.
At 212, it boils
And with boiling water, comes steam.
And steam can power a locomotive.

One extra degree makes all the difference.
And, the one extra degree of effort in life separates the good from the great.

The average margin of victory for the last 25 years in all of Golf's major tournaments combined was less than three strokes.

The margin for victory between an Olympic Gold Medal and no medal at all is extremely small.
In the 2004 Mens 800m race, the margin of victory was .71 seconds.

At the Indy 500, the average margin for victory for the past 10 years has been 1.54 seconds.
On average, the winner took home $1,278,813.
The second place prize was $621,321.
A difference of $657,492.

Where is the Extra Degree in your own life, and will you take advantage of it?
