It's not enough to simply comply, nor to meet the quota,
it's not the inertia of moving forward just to fulfill the obligation,
it's leaving every secret drop of the soul in the work,
a soul that gives itself with a desire to serve.
Doing it well is easy, it's following the rules,
complying with the scheme that routine dictates;
but giving what has been laid out its majesty and form
is the supreme touch that habit illuminates.
Excellence is not haste, nor is it seeking applause,
it's the faithful caress of the finest detail,
it's carefully polishing in the shadows, with quiet contemplation,
the edge of the stone that supports the path.
It's the invisible signature that your work bears,
the constant respect for your own labor,
knowing that in every effort where you imprint your dedication,
you don't just give a product... you give yourself, your honor.
Whether the task is grand or modest,
leave it with the resounding mark of your greatest light,
so that upon seeing the sculpted work, the heart may say and believe:
"That is a work made with passion and excellence."
