Reality is that those who maintain the basics are the ones to excel further than those who try to stray away.
The basics of putting things back where you found them, the basics of common sense etiquette, the basics of leaving a place/conversation/work better than how you found it, the basics of listening more than talking.
You can go above and beyond, but what people remember and care most about is that you’ve got the basics down, consistently and with care.
