“Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinary Well”
Anybody who accepts mediocrity-in school, on the job, in life-is a person who compromises, and when the leader
compromises, the whole organization compromises.
Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.
Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.
Always do your best! What you plant now, you will harvest later.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Do that little more, which is worth all the rest.

“To do the right thing, at the right time, in the right way;
to do some things better than they were ever done before;
to eliminate errors; to know both sides of the question; to be courteous;
to be an example; to work for the love of work; to anticipate requirements;
to develop resources; to master circumstances; to act from reason rather than rule;
to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection!”

Make it a life-rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your “man-womanhood.”
Good enough never is.
If something is exceptionally well-done it has embedded in its very existence the aim of lifting the common denominator
rather than catering to it.
If you plan your best you can win.
The real contest is always between what you’ve done and what your capable of doing.
You measure yourself against yourself and nobody else.
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.

“It is those who have this imperative demand for the best in their natures, and who will
accept nothing short of it, that holds the banners of progress, that set the standards, the ideals,
for others!”

One of the most essential things you need to do for yourself is to choose a goal that is important to you.
Perfection does not exist-you can always do better and you can always grow.
Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more.
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our actions.
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least
other people’s idea of that mold.
