Excellence
Excellence is not given; it is earned. It is earned by putting your
thoughts into action.
Excellence is not inherited; it is achieved. It is achieved by working
toward the goals you have set. Excellence does not have a color or sex
boundary. It simply knocks on the door of whoever is willing to listen.
Excellence is not a gold trophy, it is represented only in your mind
and displayed in your work. Excellence sometimes hides; excellence sometimes
wears a disguise. It is often disguised as work… Hard work.
That is how it knows if you are willing to listen. That is how it
knows if you are willing to be patient. That is how it knows if you are
dedicated. That is how it knows if you are committed... Committed to
Excellence.
Excellence to me means that, no matter how many times I fall, I will
do whatever it takes to get back up.
Excellence to me means that if I fail once, I will always go back and
learn from my mistake, so that I make sure it will never happen again.
Excellence to me means that by fulfilling my dreams, not only will I
hold my head up high, and in doing so, I can look down on all of the negativity
and naysayers that have haunted my life and tell them that they were wrong.
But, in not doing so, in not fulfilling my dreams, not only will the
negativity haunt me forever, but my choices will as well. My choice of
dedication, my choice of patience and my choice of commitment… My Commitment to
Excellence.
That is what excellence means to me. But now it is time to ask
yourself, what does excellence mean to you?
