Progress across the time axis is passive. Progress up the results axis is passion.

About This Quote

A new book by a Harvard professor says that the path to success in business is not to focus on short-term goals of short-term success but to work toward a longer-term vision. The author, Robert G. Cooper, said, “Progress across the time axis is passive. Progress up the results axis is passion.” He says that the key to getting ahead in business is to think big and dream big.

You can achieve your goals by working hard or you can achieve them by making them bigger than they are now. If you want to make progress in your career, you must be willing to work hard at it every day, but you must also be willing to dream big about what it could become. You can do both at the same time, he said.
