The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need.

Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.
