EXCELLENCE
EXCELLENCE
The quality of being outstanding or
extremely good. It does not mean
perfection but simply the result of
pursuing perfection.(By Oxford
Dictionary)
As Vince Lombardi said, “Perfection is
not attainable but if we chase perfection,
we can catch excellence.”
From the point of view, excellence is
being the best in doing something, a
valuable characteristics that distinct men
and women possess.
How can excellence be shown in a society where
standards are already set and creativity is seldom
encouraged?
With the prevailing and widespread corruption in
the public and private sector, is excellence still
possible to attain?
Though temptations surround every personnel in a
lot of public and private institutions, excellence can
be achieved if there is a will and desire to attain it. It
is just a matter of character and attitude.
As Ralph Marston said, “ Excellence is not a skill. It’s
an attitude”.
Confucius also supports the idea. He said, “ The will
to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your
full potential….these are the keys that will unlock the
door to personal excellence.”
The Civil Service Commission believes the same;
thus, excellence is identified as one of the core values
all civil servants must possess.
We dream of a day when all people, especially the public
officials and employees as models, live with the highest
standard of excellence. We dream of a generation who would
give their best in building the physical and moral
infrastractures that would last for a lifetime, putting in mind
the sake of the next generations who will be proud of what
their forefathers have started. To achieve this, we must put
into remembrance, “ Whatever we do, let’s work heartily, as
for the Lord and not for men. Let us not become weary in
doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if
we do not give up.
DECLARATION
We value excellence being part of our God-given nature.
From now on, as public servants, we commit to have this
in mind that as we do beyond what is expected of us
everyday, we manifest that excellence inside us. We
endeavor to produce excellent results in whatever we put
our hands into. We shall not settle for anything less than
the best but strive to make all things work for God’s
glory.
PRAYER
Lord, forgive us for settling for what is convenient and
easy, for not giving all that we can to manifest. Your
excellent nature. Thank you for another chance to live
excellently from now on. We ask for the grace to make
excellence our lifestyle and attitude. As we serve the
Filipino people, help us to always remember that we are
doing this not for man but for You.
All these, in God’s Name we pray, Amen.
