LEARN TO INSIST ON QUALITY AND EXCELLENCE

One of the distinctive marks of successful people is that they always insist on quality and excellence. They loathe mediocrity and for them, good enough is not good enough. Successful people expect the best from themselves and from others as well.
Many times, I have been in situations where I am forced to accept mediocre treatment, products, and/or services. I’ve been made to feel guilty for insisting on quality and excellence. Mediocre people have a tendency of saying things like ‘It’s not that bad’ and they even go further to make you feel guilty for demanding for excellence. To them, insisting on quality and excellence is equal to arrogance and pride. It’s as though when you conceal dissatisfaction with a lack of quality and excellence then you are humble and pleasant. Well friends, today I insist that you start insisting on quality and excellence. Demand the best from yourself and from others. Distance yourself from anything that lacks representative quality and excellence. The danger with accepting mediocrity is that it makes you Mediocre. Accepting average things ultimately downgrades you to average. So make up your mind that for you, only the best is acceptable — Its not pride!
I assure you that if you start insisting on quality and excellence, your life will graduate and upgrade to another level of growth and success.
So may I suggest the following:
- Insist on time keeping.
- Insist on best practices.
- Insist on the best products.
- Insist on the best treatment.
- Insist on quality delivery of services.
- Insist on quality and excellence in everything!
I insist this of you!
