Excellence - from John Mason
(From John Mason's Enewsletter - "Nugget of the Week")
Start every task thinking how to do it better than it has ever been done before. "It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it" (Somerset Maugham). Think only of the best, work only for the best and expect only the best. Excellence is never an accident. Become a yardstick of quality.
Excellence measures a man by the height of his ideals, the breadth of his compassion, the depth of his convictions and the length of his persistence. People will always determine your character by observing what you stand for or fall for.
Don't seek success. Instead, seek excellence, and you will find both. Work to become, not to acquire. Do the very best you can, and leave the results to take care of themselves.
Perfection, fortunately, is not the best alternative to mediocrity. A more sensible alternative is excellence. Be easily satisfied with the very best. When you are delivering your very best is when you will feel most successful. Never sell your principles for popularity or you'll find yourself bankrupt in the worst way. Dare to be true to the best you know!- John Mason, from the book Know Your Limits, Then Ignore Them
I hope you strive for excellence...Jeff
