Excellence is a Choice

Motivational Power Quote

 

Excellence is a Choice

“Some people have greatness thrust upon them. Very few

have excellences thrust upon them.”

John W. Gardner 1902 – 2002, Secretary of Heath Educate

and Welfare

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Excellence is a choice

 

You make the choice to be good at what you do . . . . Or you can make the choice to do what you do with excellence.

 

No matter which one you choose . . . . You made the choice.

 

The choice of excellence is not achieved overnight or without effort.

 

Excellence is the choice to follow the path of becoming the best in your professional and in paying the tolls that will get you there.

 

The journey of excellence is a process and to remain focused on the big picture. It’s doing things with excellences even when there’s short cut. Making a concession on the quality of your service to get it done faster compromises your excellences and your professional image.

 

Make the commitment to excellence . . . . And you will stand out in your field as a result of the services that you deliver.

 

Success is a choice . . . . Excellence is a Choice . . . . The choices that you make will make your career and you will fly at the level of your excellence.

Great one Lou

My children are learning about  this by the invisible signature technique

Everything they do, I ask them to sign it proudly with invisible ink. . 

I know of some adults that need this technique as well. . .

I love that, Fernando!  This is a graet post, Lou.  I have 2 supporting statements at my desk:  " Whatever you are, be a good one" & "Quality is never an accident....".  We all have a choice!

Everything is a choice...even when things beyond your control happen, how we react is a choice.

good post and as usual, thought provoking -- if you are going to do something might as well go for greatness (although it is ok to be much less than great when you start out -- sometimes people never begin the process because they can't bear being bad at something).  it takes work, but you can get there!
