He wrote on his social media handle and wrote, “Good, better, best. Never let it, till your good is better and your better is best. When a task has once begun. Never leave it. Until it?s Done. Be the labor Great or Small do it well. Or not all. Go be great today.”?It’s quite evident that Howard preaches being great in your profession.
