Balance and Common Sense
by Miki SaxonI was reading Oscar de la Renta’s obituary (fascinating guy) and a quote from him caught my eye.
“Being well dressed hasn’t much to do with having good clothes. It’s a question of good balance and good common sense.”
What grabbed me was the second sentence.
Because it doesn’t matter what you set out to do or how much money you spend on accouterments.
It doesn’t matter who you know, where you went to school, how many hours you work or how brilliant your vision.
It doesn’t matter because without balance and common sense you will fail.
Because balance and common sense are the foundation of anything you choose to accomplish.
