Sabi ni Aristotle, “𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭.”
Minsan, we think excellence is about being the best, getting everything right, or producing impressive results. But Aristotle points us to something deeper: excellence shapes both the work and the person doing it.
Kapag ginagawa natin ang isang bagay with intention, discipline, and care, hindi lang yung output ang nag-iimprove. Tayo rin.
Every time we choose to be patient, responsible, diligent, honest, or willing to learn, we're building something within us. And eventually, those small choices become part of who we are and how we do things.
So maybe excellence isn't about asking, “How can I be the best?”
Maybe it's asking, “How can I become better through the way I do what is in front of me?”
