Excellence Is Not a Gift

Excellence is not a gift, nor is it natural. No one is born excellent.

It has nothing to do with the resources you have, but with how you use them.

Excellence is not the opposite of poor — it is war against mediocrity.

Mediocrity is lukewarmness. It causes nausea.

Excellence produces admiration and inspiration.

For the excellent person, failing to be better is simply inadmissible.

The excellent person makes creativity an ally, overcoming any lack of resources.

Everyone can become excellent. All it takes is the right environment.
