It means “to exceed, to surpass in good qualities or laudable deeds, to outdo, to surpass.” It can also mean “being of great value or use, applied
to things; remarkable for good properties, as an excellent piece of
furniture; an excellent home or excellent automobile.”

It's about being happy with what you've accomplished, but always recognizing that
there is more to be done.

• Education may be expensive, but think about the cost of ignorance.
