212

  

The other day, I came across a book that I had read a few years ago. It is a very easy read, but the lessons are extremely valuable. Many of you may have read or heard of it, the book is 212 The Extra Degree by Sam Parker and Mac Anderson. The premise of the book is based on the analogy that at 211 degrees, water is very hot. At 212 degrees, it boils, and with boiling water, comes steam, and steam can power a train. So, raising the temperature by one degree is the difference between something being very hot, and something that generates enough force to power a massive machine.
