Building Personal Strength: Excellence, High Quality and Achievement

When I talk about excellence, I'm not talking about trying to achieve perfection. I've made this point before.

I'm talking about doing your best work. Deep down, you know there are big payoffs. Mediocrity is common. The results of high quality stand out. People notice. Doing something excellent just feels better than getting by. Excellence is rare and valuable, so when you do something as well as you can, your life is more meaningful. Achieving a high standard helps define who you are.
