Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary.
No one ever attains success by simply doing what is required of him.
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
In today's global economy, however, it is important to raise the bar of excellence even higher. Today's students must be prepared to compete effectively on an international level.
Success comes to those who dedicate everything to their passion in life. To be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to your head.
The roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can become.
Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer.
Those who attain any excellence, commonly spend life in one pursuit; for excellence is not often gained upon easier terms.
Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.
Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.
