Sam Parker's one of the latest secular self-help persuaders to encourage taking that extra step between success and less with his prompt "212 degrees".
I saw one of his T shirts at BMI recently and wondered what the numerals represented. The wearer was talking with some who knew what it meant.
Now I know that it represents Parker's encouragement to do better at whatever we do: 212 degrees is when water changes from liquid to vapor, that extra degree from being hot water. Interesting...
