We all remember a time when we spoke proudly about becoming the next Bill Gates, or Stephen Hawking, and it’s never wrong to dream big.
But as time passes by, we gradually realize that most of us are bound to stay ordinary.
Yet there’s still a way of achieving excellency.
[As the saying goes, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”]
I also believe that being devoted to small things is also a form of success, even if one cannot achieve world-changing success.
A perfect life doesn’t have to be so glorious or sparking as grand plays performed in theaters.
The true value lies in our attitudes towards tiny daily issues, of which the repairman working in our community is an ideal example.
Bicycle-repairing is certainly not the brightest or best-paid profession to many, but this man puts his heart and soul into it and views it as his way of serving for people in the community, which is why he earns high reputation.
As a generation about to step into the fiercely competitive society, we are haunted by the feeling of worry and helplessness.
If we strive for accomplishing remarkable success and becoming world-renowned, we’ll probably feel frustrated and disappointed.
Only by realizing “Excellency derives from small matters” can we survive and thrive.
