excellence

" Strive for perfection and perhaps you may achieve excellence!" Sri Aurobindo. The West has been so remarkably successful in life because it has made excellence a habit, while we have remained content with mediocrity. Even our highest rewards have been awarded to mediocre persons which has set a wrong precedent. Men like Patel,Ambedkar, Bismillah Khan,Pt.Bhimsen Joshi and many others received recognition late while persons who had political connections received them without deserving them. Even today there are hundreds of persons who are doing excellent work in their respective fields but have been denied their due because they prefer to stay away from the limelight!
Children should be taught at school and at home to do their tasks carefully and diligently. If the parents and teachers do their work conscientiously, the child automatically emulates them. In school the children should be taught about great men like Einstein, Shivaji,Rana Pratap,Akbar,Cromwell,Churchill,Laxmibai, Joan of Arc, Napoleon,Vivekananda,Shakespeare and others which will inspire them to aim high in life.
