Being Exceptional

Saying the big words is easy but actually being sensible enough to follow them is quite demanding. A lot of professionals talk big but seldom are big achievers. The chief reason being they are not good enough in their respective professions; it is as simple as that. A professional is someone who performs the assigned work efficiently irrespective of good or bad times.

Lot of us are not professionals but just people doing work; we are not sincere with our professions. All of us have one thing in common that we want to earn huge sum of money but we seldom try to be good in what we do -- our work, our profession. It is pertinent to note that what we do is actually going to help us achieve our long term goals and the mere short term goal of feeding us. Why not be good in what we do? Why not be outstanding in what we do? Why remain mediocre when we can be exceptional in what we do?

Excellence in our work shows how much pleasure we take in doing it and opposite holds true as well. The degrees we have and the institutes we have studied become irrelevant if we are average in what we ought to be best at. It is quite disheartening to see there are very few good barbers, tailors, shoemakers, welders, technicians, scientists, engineers, doctors, politicians. It is time that we stop mourning about our lives and start being exceptional in what we do. :)
