The difference between ordinary and extraordinary?

 It really is the little extra, and yes, I know how corny this line is. My reason for talking about this is the fact that I'm sitting in Newark airport waiting for a flight and simply amazed at how low the bar is here (and most any other airport) for the consumer experience.

The outlet which is my source of nirvana
Security aside, as there is virtually no hope for that improving any time soon for obvious reasons, everything else about it is pretty crummy. The food, the service, the seating, the lighting, having to (as I currently am) pay for wifi. I actually got really excited when I found a place to plug in my iPad. Seriously?!?

This is how low my expectations are. I just got visibly excited over electricity. 

I just feel like if someone were to step up and making the airport a desirable place to be, even just a little bit, it would be a tremendous success.

Airports aside (I realize claiming that they are a sub par experience isn't exactly discovering America) what could you do in your personal life to be just a little better? Often times, you just have to suck a little bit less than everyone else to stand out. You don't need to be amazing, just be better.

I'm often juggling a lot of stuff, and deep down I want to be the best at everything. When you're a busy person like myself though, everything can't be perfect - and that's ok.

I just make sure I am doing an honest job, do my best and try to at least exceed expectations. Perfection is often impossible, so stop worrying about it.

Drive slow.
