Excellence

I am striking a pose to shoot at Excellence as our main peak at work. We may define it the way we top achieving the highest stats of receiving rewards for 100% audit scores in our job tasks. Well, sad to say we are not really excelling at work but gradually building our roads to success. I am not contradicting this concepts because they may go hand in hand in nature that we finish are respective accounts but sometimes we are completely building to center our attention to success rather than being excellent. According to an essay by J. Hampton Keathley entitled: “The Pursuit of Excellence”, the pursuit of excellence is "not to be a quest for superiority", and is not about "competition" or about "outstripping others", which is "usually done for one's own glory or significance or for the praise or applause of men". Instead, he quotes differences between success and excellence at work:

"Success means being the best. Excellence on the other hand means being your best.”

“Success means being better than everyone else. Excellence means being better tomorrow than you were yesterday.”

“Success means exceeding the achievements of other people. Excellence means matching your practice with your potential of sharing them to others."

We may be successful but it doesn’t necessarily mean that we are being excellent. I want the team to reflect to achieve both concepts yet still prioritizing excellence on top of our heads like a cherry on an ice cream cup
