Broken Quote by John C. Maxwell
““You’ve probably heard the expression, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” That phrase definitely was not coined by someone dedicated to personal growth. If that has been your mind-set in the past, then I suggest you develop a questioner’s mind-set instead and replace the popular phrase with the following questions: • If it ain’t broke, how can we make it better? • If it ain’t broke, when is it likely to break in the future? • If it ain’t broke, how long will it serve as the world changes? People””
