The Fred Factor

There is no glory in living up to the level of other people's expectations and stopping at that.

Jesus taught us to exceed the humdrum, legalistic minimalisms of the day, to rise above the ordinary and to live by a higher law of love that taps into inner resources and never settles for "good enough."

The Fred Factor is about applying that sort of attitude to the workpolace.

It is worth a read. I offer this recomendation in that spirit:
