Hello friends, sure we are enjoying the beautiful weather. Welcome to another edition of The Weekend Bite™ Online. This one is called #Excellence.
Excellence refers to being exceedingly good and outstanding at something. This can be a test, task, job or role. It signifies not just getting the job done but meeting a high standard in our execution.
The beauty of excellence is that we can make it our lifestyle, ensuring to put in an extra effort to make our work top-notch. There is a popular saying that 'Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. When we adopt an excellent approach, we take ourselves to a new level of operation which ultimately has great rewards.
I've heard of several people who employed this strategy in simple or menial jobs and it opened doors for them. A good illustration is a cleaner who always dressed corporately but diligently ensured to deliver an excellent cleaning service. Soon a man who had noticed the cleaner for several days came up to discuss with him and discovered that he was actually a graduate who found it difficult to find any other work. As fate would have it, the cleaner's major was directly related to a vacancy in the man's company and he was invited for an interview.
Sometimes our excellent work is what opens doors for us. Even if no one commends you, do it for your own satisfaction. Don't worry about any other person. If you think they are not watching, they are, and when the time is right, your work will speak for you.
It doesn't matter what it is that you have been assigned to do. It may be below your capabilities or level but doing it with disdain has no benefit to yourself. If you make excellence your default principle it will rub off on everything you do and eventually those around you.
Therefore I beseech you to choose excellence always and let it elevate you.
Cheers!
