While many of us (young and old) continue to celebrate and uphold this universal standard of excellence, too many of us do not. In fact, too many of us have joined in the growing number that actually celebrates ignorance, ill-preparedness, disrespectfulness, and mediocrity. Excellence is a personal code of conduct that demand that, every day, you strive to do better, know more, and try harder than you did the day before. It's a process, not some pinnacle you reach. It demands that you mature and improve continually, because no matter how high you go, the bar keeps getting higher and it's you who's pushing it up.
