"Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well."
~ John W. गर्द्नेर
The way to achieve excellence and perfection is through experience. And experience is filled with mistakes. If it were not, we would not learn very much from it.
It is admirable to aspire to perfection, but foolish indeed to expect that it will come quickly or without mistakes. It certainly pays to expect the best of yourself. It also pays to be realistic and patient.
Perfection in any endeavour is an aiming point, not a starting point. Let the desire for it push you, but don't let the absence of it stop you. If you're ever going to get anything done, you must start somewhere. More specifically, you must start where you are.
Even in our world of instant fortunes, instant communication and instant gratification, it is still true that anything of true and lasting value takes time and effort. Aim for perfection, and follow the less-than-perfect road that will get you there.
~ Ralph Marston

Dare to Dream...
People display a magical quality the moment they decide to fulfill a compelling vision of the future. An unmistakable aura of enthusiasm surrounds them.
Their eyes begin to sparkle and their entire posture changes. Their vocal inflection becomes lively, and they feel the change. They feel it because the magic is inside of them. They feel intention, resolve, and faith in their ability.
James Allen (1864-1912), wrote, "Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your Vision is the promise of what you shall one day be. Your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil."
Can you remember a moment when a dream first came to life within your heart and mind? Perhaps you have a new dream tugging at you now—a desire that you cannot forsake.
If so, focus your attention on your vision. You have the first ingredient for achievement: a dream. It's all you need to start with—a blueprint for the future.
Then do not ever quit. Move forward, undeterred by circumstances and obstacles.
The future you create, is the future you dare to dream.
