Excellence

From the book The Best of Success compiled by Wynn Davis:

Excellence  --  Going far beyond the call of duty, doing more than others expect...this is what excellence is all about. And it comes from striving, maintaining the highest standards, looking after the smallest detail, and going that extra mile. Excellence means doing your very best. In everything. In everyway.

"The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor."
   - Vincent T. Lombardi

"The kind of people I look for to fill top management spots are the eager beavers, the mavericks. These are the guys who try to do more than they're expected to do - they always reach."
   - Lee Iacocca

"There is an infinite difference between a little wrong and just right, between fairly good and the best, between mediocrity and superiority..."
