excellence on Growth

British author Leonard Ravenhill told the story of a group of tourists visiting a picturesque village where they saw an old man sitting by a fence. In a rather patronizing way, one of the visitors ask...

Qui cessat esse melior cessat esse bonus (He who ceases to be better ceases to be good)

We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.
