in no uncertain terms, that we will accept nothing less from ourselves and one another than an honest, dogged pursuit of excellence–even if everyone around us is lowering the bar and doing just enough is the order of the day. More importantly, we must walk the walk by consistently modeling a commitment to our personal best in our own lives.
