Excellence is not a skill, it’s an attitude

We all seek excellence in every step of our life. It is the resultant outcome of our inbred spirit to be a classified member of the club where superiority reigns uncontested. Excellence signifies doing any work with flawless perfection. To achieve perfection is not a magic stroke; on the contrary it is a continuous process with unending spirit. Before going into any further elaborate discussion we must understand the abstruse meaning of excellence in terms of perfection. Otherwise the entire discussion will be confusing.

Many of us are under the obtrusive opinion that excellence is propelled by the sophisticated skill. They are well convinced that the outstanding skill of doing any work can only be interpreted in terms of excellence. Anyone may raise question on the substantiality of their opinion because it can be hardly be established in reality uncontested or without any debate. There runs a very common saying that when there is smoke there is a strong possibility of fire. Just as it when there is a scope debate there is obviously a parallel opinion with logical base. So we should think it twice before drawing any inference on the issue.

Excellence is always appreciated. It leaves an indelible impression in our mind without raising any dispute. But at the very outset we should learn the chemistry of excellence. An approval of outstanding skill is not the basic recipe of success. Excellence is an attitude in series with iron determination when we want to achieve anything with flawless perfection. But we should remember perfection does not have any specific destination. It is one by one milestone. As life is a long way to go there are so many milestones of perfection we are to cross. Naturally one time excellence in a life is of no use and it is hardly taken into account at a price of worth.

Naturally excellence is a strong and positive attitude all along the life. Life is beautified with a garland of so many excellences. It is attitude that helps us to gather perfection in different orbits of life. If we do have a win-win spirit as our basic attitude the term excellence contributes chiefly in our life. Why do we thrive for excellence? It’s undoubtedly a question to be well thought. Excellence propels our life to the zone of satisfaction. None can overrule the contribution of satisfaction in our life. Satisfaction runs after further satisfaction because it does not have any specific magnitude.

Satisfaction is alive for a temporary period. It is not ever lasting. It erodes as a practice. Naturally we are always in search of renewal of satisfaction. In absence of strong and positive attitude question of further satisfaction remains ever unreachable. None can move even an inch towards excellence in renewal if he is too coward to take the challenges of life. Challenges of life can be well intercepted provided we do have an attitude to defeat those in an indomitable spirit. So, attitude to life is the basic element to trace out excellence in repetition in course of life. I beg to differ with those who advocate that excellence is upgrading skill. For argument sake if it were accepted to a percentage even the last word of excellence is attitude, nothing else as such.
