The Pursuit of Excellence in my mind means continuing to be better at whatever subject. You can never learn enough. I always give 110%, and have learned to never give up, and always keep an open mind.

I think the Pursuit portion of the phrase is most important component, because it is your actions or your pursuit that get you to where you want to be. It is though hard work (pursuit, actions) that I have achieved all the goals that I have set for myself in the past, and will achieve in the future.

The “Pursuit of Excellence” means more to me than simply striving to be the best. When I hear those words, I interpret it to mean constantly bettering myself in every aspect of my life, spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially, always internalizing how I can make more of life. Excellence is not achieved easily or quickly but through constant and consistent determination.
