Success = Excellence?

My previous blog mentioned by Paul makes me thrilled and my thoughts were triggered further by the concept he shared.

Believing everyone of us want to be successful in our life, having the attention from the world, not suprisingly it was also my lifelong objective and unwillingly to admitted that I had even dreamt about my successful story being posted in news. In this closing date for Creating Business Excellence module, I would like to claim my thoughts or my brain are upgraded to a whole new level, speaking to the old me three weeks ago,"you are simply too young too naive". One can be a success, but will never be the excellence. Success is a destination whereas excellence is a journey. We will always be on the way of achieving excellence. Success is measured by comparison, while excellence is all about continuously improving, maximizing the potential and achieving as much as we can. The logic applies in every field, business, sports, organizations, you name one. Like playing golf, the essence is always focusing on the improvement of skills with a peace of mind. Apple's way of business never focuses on furious competition, instead they keep innovating and creating products consumers never realize they would possibly need. Rather than measuring themsalves against other companies, they became the measuring stick. We are living in a world loves comparison and we cannot change that. But comparing success or achieving excellence is not a question, this is a choice. If we focus on process, result is just a final outcome and if we focus on achieving excellence, success will find us someday.
