「願意付超出過工作的要求，將區別卓越的人和一般的人。」“It is the willingness of people to give of themselves over and above the demands of the job that distinguishes the great from the merely adequate.”

「願意付超出過工作的要求，將區別卓越的人和一般的人。」– 彼得‧杜拉克 (管理學專家)
give of… 付出時間、精力或金錢而不求回報。例：Susan is popular, because she often gives of her time to help others. (蘇珊人緣不錯，因為她常幫助公司裡的人。) over and above… 在…之外，額外的。例：In some cases, foreign workers get round-trip plane tickets over and above their base salary. (有時候國外員工除了基本薪水外，還可獲得來回機票。) adequate (adj.) 足夠的，過得去的。例：His performance last night was adequate but far from excellent. (他昨晚的演出可以接受，但離卓越還有一大段距離。)
彼得‧杜拉克 (1909-2005) 是著名的管理學家，對許多管理理論有深遠的影響，包括：decentralization (權力下放)、privatization (民營化)、empowerment (授予權力) 等，他同時也預測知識經濟時代的來臨，被譽為「現代管理學之父」。
