Excellence....what is it? ....what does it mean?

What is Excellence?

Can just anyone achieve it?

 I've found some statements that made me think....when do I show excellence?
When did you last show excellence? Are any of these statements true?

EXCELLENCE is seldom an accident.

EXCELLENCE is regularly achieved as a result of an unrelenting insistence of the highest standards.

EXCELLENCE demands self discovery, commitment and discipline.

EXCELLENCE inspires - it electrifies!

EXCELLENCE is a commitment to completion.

EXCELLENCE is a state of mind put into action.

EXCELLENCE brings satifaction and self respect.

Excellence and Commitment

Are you commited to excellence?

To excel in anything - in schoolwork, in sport, in music, in relationships with others - you must have commitment.

Study the picture below. When is the diver commited?

When she has left the diving board - when there is NO TURNING BACK. Commitment alone doesn't guarantee success but lack of commitment guarantees that you will stay in your Comfort Zone, that you will fall short of your potential, and that you will not achieve excellence and high standards.

So show commitment now, set your goals and take the steps to achieve them....it could lead to EXCELLENCE!
