People who strive for excellence stand out from the crowd. Their demeanour is unmistakable: 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.
It is 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 excellent. And how this leads to healthy and positive relationships.
Excellence is a game of inches. Every one thing you do, you do a little bit better creating excellence. So you become an inch better – as a parent, spouse, employer, employee, professional, or friend.
The difference between the person who wins the race and the person who is second is only an inch!
