Intentions vs Impact

I just noticed my last post was last summer...and here is summer again :)

Anyway, I attended a management training three days of last week (yeah, it was a 1-day week for me along with the memorial day holiday :)...atleast kind of). It was a good refreshing 3 days of varied perspectives. Honestly, this was probably one of the few trainings that I stayed awake throughout.
Apart from all the "knowledge" that was imparted during the training, there was one phrase which just got stuck in my mind. I spent some of my Sunday time thinking over it and it explains so well some things that I couldn't explain.

" We judge ourselves by our intentions, Others judge us by our impact"

Sounds true, doesn't it?
