EXCELLENCE IS AN ATTITUDE

Many of us today get caught up in this rat race of a world we call life.  Survival of the fittest, fastest, strongest is our favorite motto.  We need to stay ahead in the game, regardless of how we do it.  There are shortcuts in life we can already take.  And then at the end of the line, we forget everything else.  

Pursuing excellence is an attitude we can develop over time.  We just have to make it our daily goal in everything we do.  Never sacrifice QUALITY to gain more profit, in the long run, you will lose everything.  Genuine success is not measured by the "material things" you own but the number people whose lives you chose to uplift, the people whose lives were changed because you took the time to care for them.  These are the kinds of success no one can ever take away from you, for even in death, your legacy will live on forever as the one who made a difference.

If you want to be successful in your life, you have to love what you're doing.  Successful people like Steve Jobs, Chris Gardner achieved success because they used their gifts to their advantage.  Don't waste your time doing something you hate, discover your passion, nurture and develop it and make it your focus and not money.  If you keep on focusing on money, you won't be happy.  I have heard people say, "but there's no money there".  Money isn't everything.  If you love what you're doing, you will prosper and money will come.  Success will be the one to chase you down the road.

Take time to rethink your life.  Each of us has their own God-given talent for us to succeed in life.  If a poor man can create light for 200 houses using everyday trash, how much more for the educated one?  Don't get the course because there is money there, get the course that you love and you will excel in every area without any effort and die a happy man.
"Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude." ~ Ralph Marston

"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude." ~Colin Powell
