I sometimes think of the contrast between two homes we’ve lived in.
The first set of owners invested in the best. Nearly every decision they made was one that either maintained or raised the standards of the home.
The second set consistently went for the cheap option.
Now, and this is the interesting part, the contrast between the homes on any one dimension wasn’t massive. Yes, the floors or the sliding doors could have been a lot better. Neither one on its own was a deal breaker.
But when you put them all together, the difference was staggering.
Standards – first we make them, then they make us.
