I was reading a book called The Messy Middle by Scott Belsky and found this:

So much of excellence is about just doing the work-even when it’s not yours to do. In big companies, people have a tendency to complain about a strategy they disagree with or a product’s shortcomings instead of their own. In small companies and for freelancers, the tendency is to blame clients or circumstances. So much energy goes into directing blame and expressing disappointment rather than just taking initiative to tackle what you’re criticizing.

I don’t think I can add anything to it, but I wanted to emphasize that good things happen when you’re not bound by your todo list and your “perimeter”.
