General George S Patton Jr., a former senior officer of the US Army, has been quoted saying “Always do more than is required of you.” This might mean something different in the context of war, but basically this mean that you should exceed your expectations. You might get teased in school for going above and beyond with your English Literature essays or chemistry assignments, but in the world of business, that little bit extra can make a world of difference for you, your company, and your customers.
