Khalil Mack - When you do something, do it right the first time...

When you do something, do it right the first time... When you're talking about hard-working, when you go out of your way to mop floors and strip them and do all those things, it's kind of like, 'Dang.'

The secret of success is to do a common thing uncommonly well.

In the early 20th century, Heinz’s food company had remarkably high standards of cleanliness, health and safety. It as a time where his competition was not other food manufacturers but the vast fear of Americans that packaged food could not be trusted to be safe, much less healthy was what hampered sales. When Theodore Roosevelt introduced the concept of Federal food safety regulation, every major food company was vehemently opposed except for Heinz who claimed that the greatest beneficiary of Federal inspection would be the commercial food industry. He was right, but ironically Heinz was an example of the company that did not need Federal regulation to meet reasonable standards of public safety.
