The most perspective changing advice I have received actually came from a fortune cookie surprisingly enough. I still have the fortune I received from the cookie pinned up in my room so I see it everyday. "It does not matter how many hours you put in but what you put into the hours." What the fortune cookie is basically saying is that you can put in as many hours as you could fathom into a project but if you don't work hard and put in your best effort during those hours, it wont matter how many hours you put in. This has always lived in my mind and has made me strive that when I do do work I put in my maximum effort into my hours so that I don't spend extra time doing it. This piece of advice changed how I looked at my work forever. I stopped looking at how long I spent on a homework assignment or project to determine how good I was doing. Now, I determine how good I used my time based on how much work and effort I put into those hours doing the assignment.
