Excellence

Excellence. Boy, am I oozing fire on this topic! Now, let me start.

This reminds me of a book I read: There's No Such Thing As "Business" Ethics: There's Only One Rule For Making Decisions by John C. Maxwell

I liked and agreed with John.

THe summary of it is - If you behave in excellence at home, you would apply it in business. So, if its true, that would mean, if I am a liar, i'd be a liar everywhere. If I am rude, I'd be rude everywhere.

And being with/accepting double standard. DOES IT EQUATE TO INTEGRITY?

The level of integrity a person has equates to everything about him/her.

Otherwise, nobody would, should and will ever believe, and want to be any way related to him.

Let's think for a minute...A person WITHOUT integrity. Really, is that someone you'd like to associate with?

Now, let's bring that home to me and you. Habits - no matter how tiny, forms our daily thoughts. So, if I don't have an attitude for delivering excellence in one area, do you think I'd have it in others?

Perhaps, you'd argue, well, we have to be selective sometimes due to time frame, etc.
Acceptable if its within your own space. We are not perfect, not even Superman is.

But when we throw our second, third base, or worst attitude to others - do you think that's something excusable?

If it is intentional, i don't think so.

If it isn't, I'd say - accept it, apologize, and move on & forward.

I personally see BEING IN EXCELLENCE IS A HABIT.

A daily practice in mind, heart and spirit.

I had also build an opinion that I should walk my talk. And to be expecting excellence from others, I would need to BE IN excellence myself. ; )

Lastly, may I add, that just like everything else in life and topics, the level of excellence still depends on one's perspective and own experience in their own exposure/environment. Hence, one's level can differ from another - so effective communication between two parties are key important factors.

So, if we are coming from a Win Win, it's good and very important to see both sides of the story.

I know there's unlimited room for improvements. Let's do it together shall we!

Excellence = Mastery. My key interest of course...!!!
