Excellence Achieving Excellence in the Research Proposal

I not only am aware of these conditions, but look forward to an enterprise to which I am able to devote myself wholeheartedly.

I will definitely make decisions that more consciously reflect the concrete aspects of excellence I have identified in this paper. I have never been willing to let substandard work stand; I am aware of how the quality of my products reflects on my qualities as a person, and I hold both myself and my work to the highest standards. The sense of camaraderie has been somewhat lacking in my personal drive for excellence, and I will definitely be keeping this necessity in mind as I make my way through the ranks to become an executive chef. The balance necessary in a team is something I have always been consciously aware of, but I have not always been successful in achieving this environment in my work.

Excellence is not quality that easily fits a concrete definition.Ultimately, it must come from an intangible quality of spirit that inspires the self and the others to constant betterment. I do not know if this is something that can be taught or learned, but it is definitely something I hope I possess.
