Finish one important task completely. Many people find excuses not to complete something important.

 I had an important MOU to complete – we had worked very hard to go through all the points. Finally when it came down to the wire, the lawyer was not available to read through and make his suggestions and changes. One of the parties was going on a holiday for two weeks. To leave things for 2 weeks would mean losing the momentum.

We decided to sign the MOU calling it draft and “subject to legal review”. Once the signatures were done, there was a sense of completion. It would have been easy to put it off until after one party comes back after two weeks. To that my late partner Harold Karro would say “Half done job is worth nothing!”

How about you? Do you complete important work or make excuses and leave many things half done?
