Excellence Being On time Sacrifice
The difference between been ‘’good’’ and ‘’great’’ can, and has often been put down to excellence. It is the pursuit of excellence that separates those who want & those who desire. I’ve been thinking about this lately. And it occurs to me that there seems to be bit of a tri variable relationship between the said ‘’Excellence’’, ‘’Sacrifice’’ and being ‘’on time’’. What's the point of having anything good in life if it misses the opportune moment or the perfect timing which can galvanize any achievement? In anything in life, an inability to deliver your best when it is required on time would automatically devalue any output no matter how good it really is. The opposite of excellence in many ways is mediocrity. But what I’ve figured is that you can have things on time, NOT make the sacrifices required & deliver a pretty mediocre result. This is quite often the case. I feel there is a strong positive relationship between these three factors. Or else, you can have excellence, NOT make sacrifices and get nothing done on time. Being the best at anything takes sacrifice. It hurts but the rewards are most often bountiful. I guess Excellence is a choice not a gift. You can enjoy the petty little joys of life without really making any significant sacrifices and feel nothing to be proud of someday. But on the contrary the pleasure of the other route can be probably more fulfilling to some at least.

ReplyDeleteWe must surely do a Sunday evening again?? aat least a Saturday evening.... :P
good post. you must explain this to me in greater detail some time. What fi you make the sacrifice and achieve excellence and achieve the result? Surely time shouldn't matter much seeing as it is out of our control?
ReplyDeleteSee it's the Sacrifice that will make sure you acheive it on time, for example... you want to be the best Economist in Sri Lanka in 3 years :) that's gonna take some trying dude... but what if you just don't make the required sacrifices and be the best in 35 years? surely it is better to have it when it would really make a difference right... you can be just an Economist in 3 years, but to be the BEST, well that's gonna take a lotta work.. hence the relationship between timing, sacrifice & excellence... Let's have a chat over a beer mate!
