Excellence!

What great advice!

Proverbs 22:29(NKJV)

29    Do you see a man who excels in his work?      He will stand before kings;     He will not stand before unknown men.

Be extremely good at what you do.  Be excellent!  Why?  Because you will be recognized and will stand before Kings. 

Mediocrity just gets you hanging out with unknown or average people. 

You are who you associate with!
