When speaking of excellence, most people assume one
is speaking of "greatness."

In reality, one can be excellent and never achieve what
the world may define as greatness. Excellence is not
an award or a title bestowed on you. Excellence is a
mindset that says "I will demand growth, but release
perfection."

In many ways, excellence is the opposite of perfection.
Perfection does not exist. Excellence does.

Strive for excellence by striving for growth. Growth will
usually bring its fair share of bumps and bruises, as
you grow from falling as much as you do from climbing.
Sometimes you grow more from falling!

Excellence is also a mindset. It is an attitude that cries
out "I will not settle for a life partially lived."

No one who lives life fully can be considered anything
but excellent. For the Scaler, a full life is defined as one
lived supported and committed to Core Values rather
than tossed about by illusions of truth.
