Excellence is GOLD; mediocrity is polished brass. Excellence is REAL; mediocrity is fake. Excellence is being an EAGLE; mediocrity is being a chicken. Excellence is a PERSON; mediocrity is a shadow. Excellence is COMMITTED; mediocrity is involved. Excellence is a JOURNEY; mediocrity is a bus station. Excellence is being NICE; mediocrity is crude. Excellence SURRENDERS its right; mediocrity insists on its own. Excellence OVERCOMES failure; mediocrity is stalled by obstacles. Excellence offers NO EXCUSES; mediocrity casts blame. Excellence goes HIGHER; mediocrity aims high. Excellence is DISTINCTION; mediocrity is extinction. To be DISTINCT, and not extinct, choose the way of Excellence, not the path of mediocrity (1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13).—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
