hmmm, while I agree that Humans are parasites on Earth we also have a great capacity for good!. If everyone would do what was right for all instead of the individual the world might be better!. If we stopped trying to be better than all the other creatures and become more one with them and have compassion it would help!. Compassion for others sets us apart from the animals more than anything else except the need to totally destroy everything in our path to glory!. Animals run on instinct!. A cat has no mercy on a mouse as it plays with it to the death!. A Human has the capacity to capture that mouse, realize that it is indeed a living creature and deserves the freedom of life and will release it!. More often than not Humans will kill that mouse, but some of us feel very sorry for it when it dies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Ancients classified the world as basically "not so good" to "real good"!.
When a structure is made from parts that are of "real good" quality and are well co-ordinated, is it a beautiful structure!. If the parts are shoddy and don't go well together, the structure is ugly; "not so good"!.
When people live in the structure, they are influenced by it's aesthetics, and become more like it!.
When we create beauty, and live in beauty, we pass beauty on to our descendents to grow with them, and they with it!.
That is excellence in humans!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

'We are what we repeatedly do!. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit!. !.!.!. At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst!.' (Aristotle, 384 - 322 B!.C!.)

Aristotle defines excellence as a habit!. To interpret this more fully, I believe he was summarising the belief that it is possible for man to achieve excellence through repetition of thought not necessarily action!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Our Personal EXCELLENCE!.
An individual, sets a Reasonable Goal to be reached!. Then organizes, a ladder of means to reach that goal!.
Uses Meaningful, Justifiable and Reasonable means, to obtain that Goal!.
Accomplishes those means, and gains each step of the ladder to obtain that goal!.
To that Goal is reached!.
Thus, using the 'EXCELLENCE' in us, we are able to accomplish the GOALS in our LIVES!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What we excel in, can be described as having excellence!.There can be excellence in what we do!. there is this ability in all of us to excel!.!.!. in something or the othere!. But , the problem arises when someone wants us to excel in something that they think we are to do!. This is an impossible thing!. A musician can excel in his/her area but he cannot ecel in Science if he/she does not like that subject!.
The whole journey in life is to find out what areas that we are good at and can be developed to excel in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
