This document discusses developing a culture of excellence. It argues that excellence is an attitude rather than a gift, and involves consistently doing things well even when it seems difficult. It uses Daniel from the Bible as an example, who distinguished himself through over 70 years of faithful and excellent service, even when others sought to undermine him. The document provides tips for developing excellence, such as waking up early to be productive, avoiding procrastination, writing a "stop doing" list, and not saying yes to every request. It encourages self-examination and writing one's own "stop doing" list.
