Excellence is a game of inches. Every one thing you do a little bit better creates excellence. To become an inch better – as a parent, spouse, employer, employee, professional, or friend – and see what a difference that inch makes. Remember, the difference between the person who wins the race and the person who is second is only an inch!
It is much easier to be excellent than not to be excellent. This may be difficult to believe, but consider how good you feel about your work when you are striving for excellence. And how this leads to your team feeling good, as well as your customers.
People who strive for excellence stand out from the crowd. Their demeanor is uplifting and you can tell that they mean business and will always deliver — no matter what. We tend to rely on these people and expect outstanding work from them.
