Chase betterment and not excellence

It has always been my motto to chase betterment and not excellence because I honestly don't know what the definition of excellence is. There is no limit to it, nor there is a set standard that when you reach here you have achieved excellence".

Furthermore, he added, "So, I try to work towards betterment every day, so that would be a better word to use. And yes, performance becomes a byproduct because your mindset is how do I make the team win from here".
