Excellence is better than perfection because perfection is static while excellence is evolving. Mistakes are required to reach higher and higher levels of excellence.

Excellence stretches and has contingencies and flexibility to take advantage of less than perfect situations and transform circumstances to make the outcome better than anyone could have imagined.

Perfection is fragile, while excellence is prepared for just about anything and bounces back stronger to overcome that which it was not prepared for. Something new always comes along to throw a monkey wrench in perfection.

When that happens, perfection gets flustered, frazzled, and completely broken because it neglected to expect the unexpected.

Excellence welcomes tests and challenges as opportunities to expand knowledge and wisdom. Excellence understands that truth changes with our consciousness and perception.

Reality is rearranging and cannot be stopped from constantly changing. Perfection cannot handle that kind of stress. If it is all not done and if it is all not complete, than it is not perfect. It is never done and it is never complete, so the illusion of perfection can never last.

Excellence presents itself as willing to learn. Perfection boasts itself as knowing it all. Perfection says it has seen it all before, while excellence takes initiative to open undiscovered doors.

Excellence gets down in the dirt to plant seeds for future development. Perfection does not tolerate getting soiled.

Chaos is a fact of life. Excellence takes that into account and perfection does not. Perfection is oblivious to everything except itself and leaves itself dangerously vulnerable to the unknown because it thinks it is invincible, yet can fall to pieces at any moment of time.

Falling to pieces is an experience excellence has visited many times and knows how to put the pieces back together in new creative ways and is entertained by the process of becoming more than it was before.

Excellence makes fluid sacrifices for growth. Perfection has attachments and is in a stagnant state of not letting go until inevitable disaster happens. Life is a vibration of flowing cycles.

Excellence rides the surf. Perfection does not even like getting a little wet, yet gets totally crushed by the waves. It is not for us to stay the way we are. Fixations never last.

You move and have your being in emanations of fluctuation, disintegration, and manifestation. All becomes a part of you because your destiny is to grow.

Excellence seeks out mysteries to know.

Perfection only looks at what it already knows. Excellence knows that it does not know. It welcomes the new and is renewed, again and again. Improvement is always possible and plausible.

Excellence is not the epitome, so it always contemplates the question... "How can I do better?" Every once in a while it may even ask, "How can I be sure not to screw up next time?"

Excellence is not beyond considering and even seeking out guidance from multiple and diverse sources as helpful ideas can come from anywhere.

On the other hand, perfection never admits its mistakes, is quick to blame and judge others, is always right and never wrong and there is no sense ever arguing with it or even expressing a suggestion.

Really, when it gets down to it, well... "Who Needs Perfection Anyway?"

Everyone gets his or her own 24 hours each day, but why is it that some people are able to squeeze more accomplishments into those selfsame hours? Is it because they have supernatural skills? Or is it because they work harder?

Hardly. The secret to getting more done without necessarily working harder than others is proper time management. Truth be told, even some geniuses seem to struggle with managing their time and end up being less productive than those with great time management skills.

Time management allows you to get more done with less effort. It also helps reduce the stress that accompanies having to finish multiple jobs at the same time. If you truly are desperate to juggle all your responsibilities without having to sacrifice too much, then here are some tips and techniques to help you on your way.

1. Keep notes - Some of the best at managing their time have a handy notebook in tow in which they are able to keep track of the day and the things they need to do. Notebooks are a handy tool in organizing a day.

As the world becomes increasingly technology-based, more and more mobile organizers are becoming available. These organizers help you schedule appointments and duties and make keeping appointments a snap.

These are also good productivity tools. You never know when a good idea could hit you. So, if you are constantly armed with a pen and paper - or an organizer for that matter - you are in a better position to capture the idea and put it in motion. This is especially true when the idea you just came up with could make your work easier to accomplish and more efficient.

The fatal mistake most people commit is to think that they can delegate all the organizing and note-taking to memory. Unfortunately, just like you must have forgotten what you dreamt about last night, you are bound to forget whatever idea you whipped up a few days ago.

2. Modularize - The best way to deal with one major problem or multiple major problems is to divide and conquer. If you feel that a problem is too big to handle, then it probably is. Instead of buckling under the pressure, the best thing to do is to cut up the problem into more manageable parts and deal with them appropriately.

One of the biggest reasons people are unable to handle large projects is their inability to subdivide the problem into modules that can be easily accomplished. After making the problem more manageable, you can then allocate resources such as schedule, finance, and effort towards accomplishing the project.

3. Delegate - Another way to manage your time wisely would be to delegate some jobs to other people and making sure that everyone can work in sync. This will take a lot of communication, skill, and effort - but ultimately, it is the only way to accomplish anything that may be too large for one person.

4. Prioritize - Time management relies upon good prioritizing. Good propitiation depends upon your understanding of your resource limits such as time, effort, and finance. Timely allocation of these resources to the module that requires them is of paramount importance when managing your time.

Time management is no easy task. It may even eat into quite a bit of your working time. However, you should realize that even though you spend much time planning and managing your use of time, it will prove to be well-worth the effort as good time management is the only way to successfully tackle any project.
