Pursuing Excellence
“I will walk with integrity of heart…”
--A song from an ancient seeker
Thursday: “It’s a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.”
--W. Somerset Maugham
W. Somerset Maugham, French born author and playwright, studied to be a physician. His experiences while completing an internship in the slums of London prompted him to write a novel. Several plays and an additional book or two followed his novel. He enjoyed travel and wrote many short stories that reflected his love of exotic locales. He became known as the master of the short story.
What are the standards of performance that you have established for your work? Do you have a working definition of what “the best” is for you? How do you hold yourself accountable for performance? These questions are worthy of consideration; when you only expect the best from yourself, you will not be disappointed.
