The Truth is the Truth

An interesting thing occurred in the office. We are currently in the
process of fine tuning a "database" of sorts. One advantage of the
said database is that it can automatically generate certain reports.

We did a test run for one report. It just so happens that the report
generated seemed too good to be true. There were mixed reactions
from the group. Some were all too happy that the results were high.
Some were doubtful but figured, someone will discover the mistake
if there were one. Some decided, okay let's review the process and
double check. We backtracked a bit and realized that some of the
data encoded were incomplete. Thus, corrections will be made and
a new report will again be generated.

It's funny how people have the same reactions in real life. What do
we do when we are faced with a situation that seems doubtful? Do
we just remain indifferent and hope things turn out well? Or do we
become proactive and try to discover what is true and real?

not knowing it. And once you know, you can do something about
it.” - The Success Principles, Jack Canfield

One thing that people don’t realize is that “not paying attention”
can turn into a “bad habit”. You may decide, “Oh, I guess this
will do for now.” And before you know it, one too many things
are mediocre or just so so.

Excellence is not a one time thing. It is the product of constantly
and consistently aiming for the best and doing what is right.
