Rule #4: Forget About Good

blog | philmckinney | March 26, 2008 at 11:40 pm

Its all Good

Good is a known target.  Its what we all agree to.  Its the result that emerges when the goal is consensus.  Good is not good.  Excellence comes from exploring the unknown.  It comes from taking risks and leaving the path that everyone else is on and exploring down the dark alleys.  It requires us going places that are more than just a little scary.

Excellent is about not accepting just good.  Don’t give in just to achieve consensus.

If you accept good, you will never get excellent.
