The ethics of excellence require a sense of perspective. Look at the big picture. If you live for the moment, do you mortgage the future What happens if you put your reputation at risk ... and lose the bet.

The world behaves differently when I take action to go after what I want.

We can't win the struggle for high standards if we just talk a good game ... we've got to play a good game.
Price Pritchett
When you can make it this simple, though, just do the right thing. Even if you could get away with less. Even when other people are doing the wrong thing. Even though the wrong thing seems like no big deal.

Excellence is a process, not just an outcome. Sure, we have to hold out for high standards in the products or services we provide. The goods must be more than 'good enough.' But so must our approach you know, our methodology, the way we do business and deal with people. How could the ends be considered excellent if we can't be proud of the means.
Price Pritchett
When you hold out for high standards, people are impressedbut they don't always like you for it. Not everybody will be on your side in your struggle to do what's right and ethical. In fact, sometimes even you won't be on your side. You'll wrestle with inner conflict, torn between what you should do and what you want to do. You'll also aggravate other people. Seems when you walk the straight and narrow you always step on someone's toes. Don't count on the ethics of excellence to make you popular.
