A few days ago, a professional videographer and editor sent me a message on LinkedIn.
He had noticed a part of my video that I do so excellently well and he's been struggling to do the same for his clients.
In his message, he asked about the software I use and the secret of my excellence in that area.
When I got the email, I ran to my wife and told her about it. I couldn't believe it.
I was stunned that someone with over 10 years of experience in the industry will ask a hobbyist like me such a question.
I proceeded to share my secret with him and he was very thankful.
Why am I sharing this with you?
I want you to be excellent at anything you do!
Reject the lure of mediocrity like it's a plague!
Even if it's not your calling, the fact that you have to do it, give your all.
Even if you’re at a job you don't like, or a job that is temporary, give your best!
I have a personal value - it's either I'm in or not! I can't be in and be mediocre.
This is why I say No to a lot of things and a lot of people. The moment I can project I won't be able to give my best and be excellent, I am out!
I am not perfect but this is my watchword.
When people see you or your works, let them associate you with Excellence.
Always remember this, excellence makes you unforgettable, valuable, and sought-after.
I believe in you.
