I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.

Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.

Excellence is a process that should occupy all our days.

Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.

All human excellence is but comparative. There may be persons who excel us, as much as we fancy we excel the meanest.

Excellence is about fighting and pursuing something diligently, with a strict and determined approach to doing it right. It's okay if there are flaws in the process - it makes it more interesting.

Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

I mentioned the non-competitive spirit explicitly, because these days, excellence is a fashionable concept. But excellence is a competitive notion, and that is not what we are heading for: we are heading for perfection.

Stay away from excellence at all costs; it stinks.
