تعریف انگلیسی

Aspiration for excellence, along with perfectionism, are prominent instances attributed to progress, emphasizing achieving the most deserving position and attaining the top rank, ultimately leading to personal satisfaction and contentment. Aspiration for excellence can to some extent fulfill the needs for uniqueness and progress.

In today's era, due to industrial and technological advancements, humanity has drifted away from ethical standards and values. Therefore, for excellence, it is necessary to utilize whatever can contribute to strengthening this important aspect.

Humans have a strong need to transcend their animal nature. They desire to be creative and imaginative rather than merely existing as creatures.

All humans and animals enter and exit this world without will and consent, but unlike animals, humans have a need for excellence. The need for excellence propels humans to confront this passivity and accidental existence. The need for creativity is defined as the desire to transcend from passive and accidental existence to purposeful and free realms.

Personal excellence is one of the domains of life satisfaction, and the other is respectability. Personal excellence has six components, each of which is explained below:

* Stability: It means "navigating through life without feeling confused, being on a path of growth without feeling stagnant, enjoying health without feeling anxious about survival, and feeling useful and satisfied with personal work without comparing oneself to others or feeling envy."

* Transcendence: It means "feeling successful resulting from achieving a worthy position in life and feeling progress in life by reaching the first rank with achieving an excellent position through competitive opportunities that entails personal fame satisfaction."

* Support: It means "feeling comfortable due to the guidance of a mentor in life, appropriate companionship, cooperation from peers, receiving support in hardships, and accepting the environment."

* Individuality: It refers to "having sufficient freedom and individual independence accompanied by perfectionistic efforts in self-based work and having sufficient self-awareness and good knowledge of others leading to influence on others."

* Influence: It means happiness from influencing others and satisfaction from nurturing that leads to attachment to individuals in life based on good understanding of them, along with acceptance of the environment that enables penetration and influence of others, giving the individual a sense of usefulness, good fame, and eternal life in life.

* Meaningfulness: It means "rooting spirituality in life along with adherence to religious values and observing spiritual values."

Thus, "personal excellence" refers to the widest range of life satisfaction, indicating: "benefiting from spiritual support that results in personal positioning, mental stability, continuous progress, and social influence."

Excellence can be pursued through positive and negative methods. Individuals can enrich their passive nature by creating or destroying life; that is, being active and taking care of what has been created. Disruption and creativity are innate tendencies that satisfy the need for excellence; creativity is a healthy response to this need and is predominant. If the need for creativity is suppressed for any reason, or in other words, this need is repressed, the response will be unhealthy, destructive behavior.

The factors that create this need are reason and imagination, which separate passivity from humans and create a desire for creation and meaning-making within them.

It should be noted that all the necessary components for a healthy life based on mental health should encompass three fundamental human needs.

Just as excellence somewhat fulfills the needs for positioning or uniqueness and progress.

The utilization of competitive opportunities in excellence is in such a way that if this competition is aimed at progress and improvement in the desired activity compared to the past, it leads to progress in reaching an excellent position, and the individual feels a positive change in the relevant area. Such competition will not lead to mental restlessness and psychological distress.
