Excellent Blogging

Son,

So we have been talking, and I wrote a post this morning, about where to take our blog. It occurred to me that we should be aware of fundamentals of excellence in whatever we do. Last summer (2006) I attended the National Rural Institute on Alcohol and Drug Abuse at the University of Wisconsin at Minomonie. I picked up some literature there.

Four things to think about in achieving excellence:

Care more than others think is wise.

Risk more than others think is safe.

Dream more than others think is practical.

Expect more than others think is possible.

I will follow and close with a comment from Vincent T. Lombardi, the famous coach of the championship Green Bay Packers.

“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”

Son – whatever we do, let us strive for excellence. The blogosphere is a new frontier, we must sometimes forge our own trails, hack through the forest, and sometimes we will sleep in the rain.

Dad
