Excellence Matters. Excellent people. Excellent vision. Excellent marketing. Excellent strategies.
Excellence is THE trend of the '80s.

There is an ideal of excellence for any particular craft or occupation; similarly there must be an excellent that we can achieve as human beings. That is, we can live our lives as a whole in such a way that they can be judged not just as excellent in this respect or in that occupation, but as excellent, period. Only when we develop our truly human capacities sufficiently to achieve this human excellent will we have lives blessed with happiness.
Excellence" is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice.
