Our society has come to accept mediocre as a standard.  Doing just enough for many people is just enough.  And many expect higher wages for doing just enough, just because they earned seniority or something like that.

Society shouldn’t settle for mediocrity.  Excellence matters in all areas.  I agree that one should have equal pay for equal work.  I also believe that one should get paid more for excellent work and less for mediocre work.  I don’t think that’s what most people want to hear.

It seems that most people are willing to let some people do excellent work and then want the same pay for mediocre work.  Would you go out and hire a mediocre mechanic to work on your car and pay them the same rate as a mechanic who does excellent work?  I think not!

I think it’s time to start thinking and acting towards excellence and away from mediocre.  That includes our own level of health and fitness.  Once you start thinking and believing in excellence, then it will show in all areas of your life.

To restate the motto of the Oakland Raiders… “COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE!”  Raise your standards and GO FOR EXCELLENCE!

OOH RAH!
