On doing today's work today.....

"Every day is either a successful day or a day of failure; and it is the successful days which get you what you want........"

"You cannot foresee the results of even the most trivial act; you do not know the workings of all the forces that have been set moving in your behalf.  Much may be depending on your doing some simple act; it may be the very thing which is to open the door of opportunity to very great possibilities. You can never know all the combinations which Supreme Intelligence is making for you in the world of things and of human affairs; your neglect of failure to do some small thing may cause a long delay in getting what you want.

"Do, every day, ALL that can be done that day."

"You are not to overwork, nor rush blindly into your business in the effort to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible time.  You are not to try to do tomorrow's work today, nor do a week's work in a day. It is really not the number of things you do, but the EFFICIENCY of each separate action that counts.

"Every act is, in itself, either a success or a failure.
"Every act is, in itself, either effective or inefficient.
"Every inefficient act is a failure, and if you spend your life in
doing inefficient acts, your whole life will be a failure.'

"On the other hand, every efficient act is a success in itself, and if every act of your life is an efficient one, your whole life MUST be as success."
