People who strive for excellence stand out from the crowd. Their demeanor is unmistakable: you can tell that they mean business and will deliver. We tend to rely on these people and expect outstanding work from them.
Excellence is a game of inches. Every one thing you do a little bit better creates excellence. So become an inch better – as a parent, spouse, employer, employee, professional, or friend – and see what a difference that inch makes. The difference between the person who wins the race and the person who is second, is usually only an inch.
