WHILE I remember there were days when my dad would call me and tell me "Gbenga if you want to succeed, do it well and if you want to fail, do it with pride, do it with all your might".
This words always ring bells in my heart and I have learnt to always do my best in everything I get involved in. Regardless of what you do, it is advisable that I do my best to it.
The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavour. - Vince Lombardi
Be Committed I Say
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
Nothing beats being mastering in whatever you do and in other attain that, commitment is required.
You cannot be good at what you are not committed to. I never loved mathematics in my junior secondary school days. When I got to Senior secondary school 1, I was told that in other to remain a science student, I needed to pass mathematics and the only way to pass it was to love it. Then I decided to commit myself and time to developing myself in other to conquer my fear.
In other to get things right and to be able to do them with all your might and strength, you need to be committed. Commitment begat excellence.

Outstang post and awesome writing...☺✌
Totally concur with you on this.
Optimism, faith, commitment courage, perseverance, diligence and never say never attitude are some of the condiment to making it in life.
Challenges only invigorate me and activates the the sleeping giant in me.
That was really motivating.
My spirit is elated this morning, thank you.
Goodmorning
Wow so also my parents used to tell me, whatsoever is worth doing at all is what doing best. Do your best and leave the rest. Commitment is key in whatever we are doing. Thanks for this early morning motivation @gbenga
Steeming is what doing... We should do our best
Well said Sir.My teacher told mea similar thing in my final year in the secondary school and it has been helping me not to give up in trying times.
He said whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. So if you start a course that means it was worth your time and effort, so as much as you can and even beyond, put in your best .
Thank you for this sir..
Good morning STEEMIANS.
My father always told me "never say you can't until you have tried your absolute best, and even then try some more"
So true @gbenga, what is worth doing is worth doing,you have to be focus and be determined to be able to make it in what you are doing,if a person makes up his mind about something I don't think anything can stop him,you are a product of your mind,that's why you have to guard your mind,and indecision is a problem to most people,they are not stable in what they are doing,be stable and stay focus,you will come out on top,James said,James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Yes boss, a nice write up. You always need to be committed to your doings to always get the best out of it.
@gbenga you are right, whatever you like to do do it very well because some people are watching you. One of them could be your benefactor to pick you from that point to elevated point you never imagined.
Whao!!!
This, is, really motivating. I choose the quote as my favorite long before now to always trigger me to achieve the best in whatever I do.
whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well
Hello Mr @gbenga as much as I agree with you that to reach a level of mastery an individual needs to be committed .
I disagree with you when you said
because there are some situations in which someone is good and it's not because the person is committed but because he/she has the talent for that.
If you can make it through the night there's brighter day
Thanks for this early morning dose of inspiration,
No truer words.
Pride has succeeded in reducing men to nothing and has sent lots of dreams to the gutters. Many have missed lots of opportunities to become great just because of their pride. Pride is a ride to the side of failure.
Same thing a close friend back in school would say "any thing worth doing is worth doing well".
Its either you wanna do it or you don't want to and since you want to, then give it your all. Thomas Edison tried 999 times at getting the electric bulb.
Though the number of times too generic to be true, the point is he kept at it judiciously cause it was what he wanted and loved. And finally he succeeded.
Ah, had a lecturer that used this same statement. He was like :
" I know i am the most hated fellow in this department, but if you are to pass this course, you'll have to love me and love the course.
Because your hate for me would distract you from concentrating on what's important. And the most important thing right now, is gaining the knowledge i have to offer and scaling this course"
This stuck with me.
Well said @gbenga. Been productive is not accident. It not about desiring, it requires motivation to determine and commit all relevant resource (time, effort, finance and manpower) to an unrelenting pursuit of goal.
One major factor that limits our imagination of our we want something to be is commitment to it.

This post talks to me a lot.
I can't forget this quote. I recently woke up to this and i've decided to be the best in whatever i do.
This was what Bro. Paul Mosimbale, a respected worker said to us during our past workers' meeting in the church.
I have always work with it, and @gbenga often add to my inclination.
I agree with you @gbenga whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well and in haste too, because time waits for no man.
It is a great post but in all of this a question kept popping up on my mind about life: how do you know what exactly to commit yourself into at a particular point in time. I have heard a saying that A Jack of all trade is master of none. Is it possible to be committed to several causes at the same time or one after the other, or perhaps it depends on individual capacity.
For me, I am a one way street, can't handle a lot at the same time.
