excellence

Do not do everything for your children _ teach them personal responsibility and accountability. This includes using your home environment _ the kitchen, the garden, making their room/bed, chores _ as training platforms. Prepare them to be independent.

Alignment of vision, mission, values and attitudes need to be matched between you and those you choose to surround yourself with. The cost of training or replacing will be very minimal and less painful if recruitment, selection and positioning are done well. This applies even to general employment processes, whether at leadership or staff levels.

Leaders do not conform; they reform. If you conform, you are nurturing mediocrity. If you reform, you are breeding change.

Leaders motivate people to understand that they can do better than they__e already done and go farther than they__e reached.

A person with low standards will forever be walking. A person with high standard will soon stop walking and start running. Later, they__l soon stop running and start galloping. The next time you see him, he__ either flying or soaring.

True leaders do the right thing when the team's success is at stake and integrity is challenged.They just commit to personal excellence~Bluenscottish

Don't apologize for expressing passion.Don't back down when it comes to your integrity.Don't let anyone undermine your standards for the sake of ease.Be a character of excellence, NOT excuses.

...as we proceed to higher and higher levels of expertise, and as the stakes get higher and higher, the agonies of excellence reappear in new and frightening ways. A tiny minority gets through to the top, to memorable excellence or profound understanding. The rest of us stop at stages along the way, perhaps for a temporary rest, perhaps for a period of reassessment. But once we stop, we are unlikely to start up again. Security is suddenly far sweeter than enterprise. The sufferings of the ascent, so long endured by insuppressible aspiration, suddenly seem pointless.

Excellence doesn__ come by obeying doctrines. Excellence comes through recognizing the flaws in the prevailing doctrines of the society and throwing them away if necessary in the path of progress.

It is not just about what you can do that will make you a leader. It is about how well you can do it.

When you strive for excellence in leadership, then you will excel as a leader.

People who swim very well in troubled waters are respected and celebrated than those who swim excellently in calm waters.

The excellence of the soul is understanding; for the man who understands is conscious, devoted, and already godlike.

I do not serve and never will serve the human body. I serve only the human soul - the soul that is the cause of all feats of excellence in this world _ the soul that is the gateway to a real kingdom of peace.

There were far worse strategies in life than to try to make each aspect of one's existence a minor work of art.

Change is not an option,it is a self demand for excellence.

Excellence does not come from believing in excellence, but from constant change, challenge, and improvement.

Never be complacent about the current steps; don't agree and follow the status quo. Be determined that you are making an indelible impact with great change. Now, dress up and go to make it happen!
