INSPIRATION IS THE KEY TO EXCELLENCE

• Of course, any task can be seen as drudgery or
  self-expression. A given job, no matter how
  mundane, is not determinative. The difference is
  to be found within the person doing the task, in
  that part of our being that seeks a meaning for
  life and work. It is the desire to accomplish
  something significant. A person who sees a
  rewarding purpose and a genuine opportunity
  beyond the task can bring creativity,
  productivity, quality, and value to any job.
