The Elements of Excellence is a series of poems; a source of motivation and guidance, borne from many years of someone trying to write something that can help people all over the world. At first, the author didn't know how he was going to do this, but as he wrote more about different virtues and what they meant to him, he realised that he wanted to help others do three things: achieve their goals, be good human beings, and find happiness, no matter their situation, state of mind, or aspect of life they wished to grow or achieve in. For him, doing all three is excellence, and he was sure that anyone can do these consistently, as long as they knew how. Concise and easy to read, this is different from the usual self-help book. Poetry can resonate with people beautifully, and if it helped the author, a person with modest education in writing and literature, to realise one of his goals in publishing this type of book, it can surely help others in profound and spectacular ways.
