My father was very high-achieving in business, so when he gave me the following piece of advice, it was truly unexpected. He told me, "if you can get away with only putting in maybe 85% and still get things done, maybe only give 85%."

I expected some holier than thou "you must give it your all," but he taught me to coast when I can do so and still meet expectations.
