Excellence

【Excellence】A true musician always does his best before every audience, be it of knowledgeable music lovers or unschooled listeners. A committee once asked Enrico Caruso, the great tenor, to sing at a concert that would benefit a charity. The chairman said, “Of course, Mr. Caruso, as this is a charity affair we would not expect much from you. Your name alone will draw a crowd and you can merely sing some son requiring little effort or skill.” Caruso drew himself up and replied, “Gentlemen, Caruso never does less than his best.”
