It is impossible for a star to shine and not get noticed, even in the dark.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Run to brilliance. Sprint to excellence. Soar to transcendence.
Brilliance some are born with it, but others create it over time. It lightens the foulest of hearts and pierces the darkest of nights to lead us on the right path of our future destinies.
~ Imania Margria
Skill gives you legs to jog, talent gives you legs to run, brilliance gives you legs to sprint, but genius gives you wings to fly.
You are one thought away from intelligence, one word away from kindness, one deed away from excellence, one step away from brilliance, and one second away from transcendence.
Stir the world with your skills, shake the world with your talents, move the world with your brilliance, change the world with your genius.
Skill follows the rules, talent breaks the rules, mastery shatters the rules, but genius makes its own rules.
One who thinks for himself is a threat to his enemies, a refuge to his acquaintances, a prize to his friends, and a gift to the world.
Confuse them with your intelligence, baffle them with your excellence, bewilder them with your brilliance, and perplex them with your transcendence.
In a world full of daisies dare to be a rose.
Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom.
Stars don’t beg the world for attention, their beauty forces us to look up.
If you have a spark of genius, kindle it until it becomes a flame.
Intelligence will take you to the mountaintop, wisdom will take you to the stars.
Talent silences your competition, genius deafens them.
If records refuse to be broken, shatter them.
You become the master of what you master.
Excellence in obscurity is better than mediocrity in the spotlight.
Light the candle of success with the flame of excellence.
The lowest wisdom of the wise is greater than the highest wisdom of fools.
Geniuses’ steps take you higher than talent’s leaps.
Brilliance is the masterpiece of your mind. Excellence is the masterpiece of your heart. Genius is the masterpiece of your soul.
Genius is talent set on fire.
Excellence has a loud mouth, let it speak on your behalf.
Bend the rules only if you have learned them, break the rules only if you have mastered them.
Show me your talents and I'll show you your net worth.
Soul power supersedes mind power.
Flawed genius is better than flawless talent.
Dream the impossible.See the impossible.Pursue the impossible.Achieve the impossible.
Let your work speak for itself:If poor, it will remain silent.If average, it will whisper.If good, it will talk.If great, it will shout.If genius, it will sing.
If you are a musician,sing to one as if you were singing to a million.If you are a dancer,dance to one as if you were dancing to a million.If you are a performer,perform to one as if you were performing to a million.
Dream what others do not.Imagine what others have not.Do what others will not.Achieve what others could not.
Renounce poor work.Shun trivial work.Entertain respectable work.Welcome superior work.Honor transcendent work.
Make your mark now.Make your mark today.Make your mark forever.
It is at the edge of excellence that genius awaits.
Stand out because you think differently.Stand out because you speak differently.Stand out because you act differently.Stand out because you work differently.Stand out because you live differently.
The Excellence Manifesto #1I pledge myself to patience.I pledge myself to boldness.I pledge myself to kindness.I pledge myself to prudence.I pledge myself to cheerfulness.I pledge myself to genuineness.I pledge myself to goodness.I commit to skilfulness.I commit to diligence.I commit to resourcefulness.I commit to excellence.I commit to perseverance.I commit to brilliance.I commit to transcendence.
Works from the soul transcend works from the mind.
The spirit of excellence exorcises the demon of mediocrity.
The ordinary think inside of the box, the extraordinary think outside of the box, but genius thinks inside, outside, below and above the box.
