Jerry Garcia On Excellence

I've been quoting liberally essentially this, attributed to Jerry Garcia:

You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do.
Jerry Garcia


But then I read this...

"They're not the best at what they do, they are the only ones who do what they do." Bill Graham 

You know, the first quote does not sound like Garcia, and the second quote sounds like Graham.

So I think from now on I'll say, Bill Graham said about the Dead, they are not the best, they are the only one.

It is still good, and it will still refocus the deadheads in my classes...




They do great covers too...


Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

If you are the only one that does what you do, how do you know if you are the best? There is nobody else for comparison.

Still, if you are the only one that does something, but you are not the best or you make a deficient product or service that does not satisfy people, this would invite competition that is the best or better than you at making the product.
