Journey: EXCELLENCE, a very weird thing to feel

In my duration of my part as a family member here in the ARTWORK family, we, as a company are always bombarded by different illustrations about EXCELLENCE. It was discussed that we should be excellent in our work, excellent in our studies, excellent in the little things that we do, and excellent in our passion. And my question was always like this, do I set high Excellency levels for my self for them to see it?

Well, as I go on with my my work in doing IDs for ARTWORK, I began to realize that I had implanted the excellent standards for the company in my brain for a long time that I have only been applying it for the company just only now!

Here's the thing. I was doing the ID's and it didn't turn our the way that we expected it to turn out because of the color that it printed out. It was not too BLACK for my standards and the way it was showed to us by the company a couple of months ago. And I began to look for the reasons why it did not turn out that well. digerati as I can be, I cannot find the reason why. After eighty ID's or so, I began to change the ribbon for the printer to print again, and I stumbled upon a certain switch in the computer and when I began to print again, the BLACK-colored ribbon functioned! I felt bad and I thought of changing it back into it's former state, but, I enjoyed seeing the "blackness" of the ID that was such pretty good for my eyes. So, after much sought thinking and a long face, I tried to consult my mom (da boss). And I told her everything, even my decision to turn it back or to redo ALL of the ID's (which was a stupid thing because of the price!) but, she only instructed me to do it in to the succeeding cards to follow. (whew! Someone saved my energy!)

My point? Well, when I finished talking to her, I was amazed at my decision to tell my mom about the "Fault" and me considering it that it was a fault! Well, to some of us, I couldn't be a fault because it just upgraded the quality, and the client (my mom) should be thankful for it! But, in my case, it was a failure.

As the day ended, it just so happened to surprise me that my decision and my perspective to that as a failure is considered as excellence(?)! And, until now, I still cant believe it! But, as the work for today ended, I am much happy that I got my excellence mind working and it is implanted, continuously into my heart as time passes by in my stay here in ARTWORK.


Alright Cathy. Kaycee told me that she didn't look like Heart Evangelista. She's prettier! (oh my....)

Good night, everyone.
