Personally one of the characteristic that enables me to go the extra mile without having to compete with others, is the habit of paying particular attention to details.
I prefer doing something well, usually in the best of my ability, taking all my time rather than doing something fast but not good enough.
People remember how well we did a job rather than how fast we did it. This is particularly true when I usually had to wash my father's car. It was always a good reflective experience for me. I realised that I always took quite some time to do that because personally I wanted to do a good job. Unconsciously I will continue the task until I was satisfied.
Later on, I improved on this habit during my University years and eventually I got some good grades simply because I took the time to see how I could do things better.
Now when working I always see what I could improve even a little. There is actually a concept known as Kaizen which deals a lot of that.
