Great saying

Whoever thought of this one really hit the nail:

"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra."

Not bad at all.

very good

Yeah I will agree with that one.

Do what others won't today so you can live like other can't tomorrow...

That reminds me, I have "thank you" notes to write...

One of the reasons for the success I've had is doing a lot of analysis myself and with team distributors I work with - your cliches make me think of this.

One thing we've done is take common cliches and try to fill in the words with concrete examples; For example: what is that extra we could apply to become more successful? And: what is it that others won't that we will?

How about this thought:

1. one group of people learns and uses all the cliches, makes them work well in conversation, never really analyses them and five years latter business is relatively the same as it has been.

2. the second group does what I suggest and five years later their success has doubled and doubled again.

Thoughts?

The word "cliche" has a negative connotation. Did you mean to use the word "quote" or did you indeed mean "cliche?"

Call them whatever you want - quotes that have become cliches because of constant use - that's beside the point of the question I asked.

Any substantive thoughts on my post from anyone?

What is a "cliche" to you may not be a cliche to someone else. I don't believe the previous posters to this thread believe that the quotes they contributed are "cliches" even though you may, and I don't think that's "beside the point" of this thread.

Skip - I made a substantive post out of the quotes/cliches the thread started with -"that's beside the point of the question I asked." is what I asked, I didn't belittle any previous poster and you haven't addressed my question or added anything of substance yet.

I've used quotes/cliches myself and called them that - overused quotes become cliches void of meaning eventually OR no one stops to consider what they mean or add content.

My question (with illustrations) asks for content? Does anyone else have any thoughts about this using the two examples I gave. My sense of this forum is that rather than nit pick someone's posts we add substance and content to intelligent sales questions, concerns. I'll try again:
