Excellence. NO EXCUSES!

EXCELLENCE

If Not Excellence, What?

If Not Excellence Now, When?

You can work in teams. Try to limit your group to not more than and never ever subdivide the work. Work together on each part. Subcontracting will lead to some member doing more than the others and all of you losing the benefits of engagement with all aspects of the work.
