I see perfection as a race, while excellence is your maximum
potential to finally emerge in the race in the ranking which only becomes the
highest when you are thrilled by your own effort. Why you get all tired is
because you are competing with others. You must not worry too much to be Mr. or
Mrs. Best in everything you do. When you start putting up this kind of feeling,
it becomes an attitude that makes you see your excellence as a moving wheel
that must only stop at perfection before you feel you are the best. You must
realize that every accomplishment, whether big or small reveals the truth about
you. It mustn’t be a big or very big accomplishment for you to qualify it as
perfect? What matters is discovering what you have had that speaks of your
value whether big or small. This makes you find yourself by setting the high
standards about yourself with excellence. -Ketch

ReplyDeleteWell said Nens! "...happy with the fruits of thy effort..." as you wrote; this is the missing point where most persons do not realise every little effort towards perfection, comes first with every appreciation of every little effort towards excellence. Think about this Nens. Do you know that it's easier for someone to see excellence as more realizing than perfection? Well the difference is just the capacity of both of the terms that is different.
DeleteAnd which one will you be comfortable with if you failed to attain it? Excellence or perfection?
