Excellence is a habit

Excellence is a habit. A Greek philosopher and a physician, Aristotle once said, “we are what we repeatedly do”. He went on to describe excellence and for that matter success as a habit, not an act. It’s obvious what we do often becomes part of our character easily. And what our character tells of us is the living biography we carry. Just like bad habits, good once are also internalized by daily repetition. A failure comes from a step wrongly taken, so success comes from a step wisely made. Excellence comes from continues expression and application of the wisdom that leads to success. It therefore means excellence is obtained in episodes.
