Quote:
"If you can only do one thing, hone it to perfection."
Why I chose this quote:
I chose this quote because I love a good underdog story. It's essentially the opposite of "Jack of all trades, master of none." It reminds me to stay focused and that it's okay to not have a plethora of skills, especially desirable ones. One should not be validated by how many accomplishments they have, but by the very thing itself. Not that you should only ever strive for one, but if one is all you can do, fight to produce excellence.
