"I
speak of the need for a little more effort, a little more self-discipline, a little more consecrated effort in the direction of
excellence in our lives.
This
is the great day of decision for each of us. For many it is the time of
beginning something that will go on for as long as you live. I plead
with you: don’t be a scrub! Rise to the high ground of spiritual,
mental, and physical excellence. You can do it. You may not be a genius.
You may be lacking in some skills. But so many of us can do better than
we are now doing. We are members of this great Church whose influence
is now felt over the world. We are people with a present and with a
future. Don’t muff your opportunities. Be excellent. "
Gordon B. Hinckley from The Quest for Excellence, 1999.
