What’s In a Name?

“Arete” was a concept in ancient Greek philosophy that, in its most basic sense, refers to "excellence" of every kind. It focused on the full realization of one’s potential and fulfillment of purpose. Arete was further used by the Greeks to imply a sense of effectiveness and efficiency in accomplishing goals and tasks. Additionally, Arete suggested to the Greeks a sense of virtue in living. When taken collectively it is the act of striving for excellence in all aspects of one’s life, and doing so effectively, efficiently, and with high moral character.
