Excellence Quotes

“Finish Empty begins with a different mindset, a clear and unwavering refusal to settle for average. It means viewing life through a new lens. Those who rise, lead, and leave a lasting impact do not think like everyone else. They fix their focus on something greater, and that clarity shapes everything they do.”

“Understanding the nuances of rivalry can help extend your career. It doesn’t mean you’ll be holding hands across the finish line. It means their presence makes you better, faster, stronger. Because of them, you’ll find out exactly what you are made of.”

“Certes le dirigeant doit miser sur des leviers du succès et de l’excellence, mais son action trouvera des limites dans la volonté et les stratégies des individus à ne pas coopérer, à plutôt miser sur des stratégies personnelles. Alors, comment faire partager une passion commune pour la transformer en une vision et en des projets communs ? Comment introduire la même passion dans le cœur des autres ? Comment agir sur son propre cœur et sur son esprit ?”

“Genius & Conspiracy (The Sonnet) Wherever there is extraordinary genius, There are extraordinary conspiracy theories. Because the human mind cannot distinguish, Supernatural mysticism from natural mysteries. Wherever there is exceptional talent, There is talk of divine intervention. Because the mind cannot fathom excellence, Without involving some good old mystification. We may tolerate some conspiracies that are innocent, But those that do harm are human rights violation. If we can't use it when we need to use it the most, What's the point in carrying around a lofty brain! There are times when reason must take a back seat, Then there're times, ignorance mustn't be given heed.”

“Retaliation retards your excellence. Nelson Mandela would not have been named as a great man if not for his courage to forgive those who schemed and plotted it for him to spend those 10000 bitter days in prison.”

“The best posture you can adopt when pursuing your goals is neither to stand nor sit. The best position is to STANDOUT! Everyone may be sitting; but don't sit! Many people may be standing; but don't just stand. When you stand, be outstanding!”

“Don’t be retarded; excellence is “status quo discarded”. Look ahead and don’t see the little things you do now as the final products to ever stand out of your personal actions!”

“Your driver is on the steer, driving you and you can feel free to doze in the car; this is trust built on competence. Competence is to ensure that your actions put people's hearts at ease when things are in your hands.”

“It's excellence in leadership when everyone wants to manufacture a black shoe and you manufacture a designer black shoe with gold medal on top. Do something new; do something better!”

“Often, our relationships become an unrealized quest for what is perfect, unfettered, and free of flaws. We expect our partners, spouses, and our friends to avoid missteps and to be magical mind readers. These secret expectations play a sinister part in many of the great tragedies of our lives: failed marriages, dissipated dreams, abandoned careers, outcast family, deserted children, and discarded friendships. We readily forget what we once knew as children: our flaws are not only natural but integral to our beings. They are interwoven into our soul’s DNA and yet we continually reject the crooked, wrinkled, mushy parts of our life rather than embrace them as the very essence of our beings. I once believed that aiming for perfection would land me in the realm of excellence. This, however, may not be the trajectory of how things happen. In fact, the pursuit of perfection may be the biggest obstacle to becoming whole. It seems essential to value hard work and determination and yet recognize that the road to excellence is littered with mistakes and subsequent lessons. Imperfection and excellence are intertwined. There is joy in our pain, strength in weakness, courage in compassion, and power in forgiveness.”

“Opening and closing images frame our whole lives, like birth and death. But I’m really talking about the dynamic phase of our lives when we’re making our way in the world. The opening image is when we’re eighteen, say, and our closing image is when we’re about fifty. We all have thirty-two years to get our closing image right, and hardly anyone succeeds. When we’re on our deathbed, will we be proud of our closing image, or tormented by it? That’s the challenge of the movie of our life. That’s when we know if we’re going to heaven or hell. That’s the Final Judgment.”

“At some point, you have got to be fed up. Be fed up with living a lie. Be fed up with settling for crumbs. Be fed up with moving around as if you were not destined for greater heights. Be fed up with looking down upon who you are. There should be that turning point where you look in the mirror and go like, "Yeah, right, I am good enough. I am ordained for signs and wonders. I have big dreams, and I will ensure they are actualized. I will not take an ordinary path because my Creator has created me to excel in life." This should be your stance, and there is no need to apologize for that.”

“At some point, you have got to be fed up. Be fed up with living a lie. Be fed up with settling for crumbs. Be fed up with moving around as if you were not destined for greater heights. Be fed up with looking down upon who you are. There should be that turning point where you look in the mirror and say out loud, "Yeah, right, I am good enough. I am ordained for signs and wonders. I have big dreams, and I will ensure they are actualized. I will not take an ordinary path, because my Creator has created me to excel in life." This should be your stance, and there is no need to apologize for that.”

“Are you ready to transform yourself? Are you ready to be one of the Special Ones, the Illuminated Ones? Are you ready to play the God Game? Only the strongest, the smartest, the boldest, can play. This is not a drill. This is your life. Stop being what you have been. Become what you were meant to be. See the Light. Join the Hyperboreans. Become a HyperHuman. Only the highest, only the noblest, only the most courageous are called. A new dawn is coming... the birth of Hyperreason. It’s time to enter Hyperreality.”

“You could consider marrying an excellent woman?' I asked in amazement. 'But they are not for marrying.' 'You're surely not suggesting that they are for the other things?' he said, smiling. That had certainly not occurred to me and I was annoyed to find myself embarrassed. 'They are for being unmarried,' I said, 'and by that I mean a positive rather than a negative state.”

“A high-speed connection is no more an essential civil right than 3G cell phone service or a Netflix account. Increasing competition and restoring academic excellence in abysmal public schools is far more of an imperative to minority children than handing them iPads.”

“Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence But like a thrifty goddess she determines Herself the glory of a creditor,Both thanks and use.”
