Excellence vs. Success

Excellence vs.. conquest Ohio Christian University 2 Excellence and achievement are two words that most people have a fear of either having or not having. Growing up in an ever changing world where technology was Just beginning, cell phones were ogre radios that you would carry around in a big black recess and the internet was rarely heard of by the hustle and bustle of any day common people, excellence was not even in my vocabulary. It fronts to shoot d bear a great number of us most of our adult liveliness to live up to our full napential and sadly, many of us never do.Johnston Nonstop 2004) defines excellence and supremacy in a manner that anyone could understand. He says it is a certain biography style, a manner of living, a hierarchy of values, an admirable self-imposed standard (p. 25). Excellence is determined by the psyche defining it and, therefore, means for each of us the definition of excellence is various and on our own terms. According to Johnston (2004) advantage, on the other hand, is defined by cultural ideas, that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (p. 30). The question is does supremacy outweigh excellence in todays society?We are defined by our clothes, the cars we drive, the house we live in, our bank accounts and even our friends. We all strive for success, that pot of gold, but how many of us strive for excellence? Excellence and success can be prevented by a lack of confidence and fear. We seem to put unrealistic expectations on ourselves and that fear of failure prevents many of us from living up to our full potential, this I have learned from my own personal experience. For these two words 3 being so almost related, society seems to get them greatly confused. There was a time success was most important to me but not anymore.When I was saved I began to strive for excellence Just by my actions. Living a life of Christ requires excellence which reminds me of a bible verse I exhibit Give her of the fruit of her hands a nd let her own works kudos her in the gates. (Proverbs 31 31 XIV). My actions today need to job upon me when I reach the gates of heaven. I will make mistakes on the way because I am human but I to a fault know that as long as I give one hundred ten percent I am doing my best. References Johnston, J. , & Costing, K. W. (2004).
