To live your life to the fullest, you need to develop a thinking with excellence. In everything you do, you need to think how to do it with excellence.
A good description for excellence is "To be superior in QUALITY, greater in QUANTITY, to TRANSCEND your job description, and to OUTDO yourself each time"
And I believe that everytime you do something with excellence, you'll enjoy life more. The reason why people are bored with life is because they let everyday passes by with the same motivation and same action. Boring people will do the same using the same method achieving the same thing again and again. The moment you think with excellence and do thing with excellence, your life will automatically be changed.
Below story is an example of a person who has a spirit of excellence.
One day, the boss of Mercedez Benz had a problem with his wash basin. The pipe was already broken and water keep flowing out to the floor and he afraid it will be dangerous to his kids.
Upon his friend recommendation, Mr.Benz called up a plumber to fix it. The plumber make an appointment to fix it 2 days later because he is quite busy. The plumber has no idea that the caller is the boss of the largest car company in Germany.
One day after called by Mr.Benz, the plumber contacted Mr.Benz and thanked him because he has willingly waited for one day. After fixing the broken pipe, the plumber then received the payment for his service.About 2 weeks later, the plumber contacted Mr.Benz to check if the pipe was well fixed or there's some problem that he need to come down and fix again. Mr.Benz thought that this person must be a great man even tough he is a plumber. Mr.Benz answered on the phone and said that the wash basin is working perfectly fine and thank the plumber for his service.
Few monts later, Mr.Benz recruited this plumber to work in his office? Yes, his name is Christopher L.Jr. He is now a General Manager for Customer Satisfaction and Public Relation in Marcedez Benz!
Always add cheese and best service even if it's not required from you!
Excellence is not a skill, it is an attitude. That means everyone can excel in everything they do. So, let's start to have excellence in whatever you do.
Excellence can be obtain if :
...care more than others think is wise;
...risk more than others think is safe;
...dream more than others think is practical;
...expect more than others think is possible.
"Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.”
