Mediocrity is intimidated by that which is better. Mediocrity does not strive for improvement. Mediocrity does not believe in change. Mediocrity loves the comfortable. Mediocrity attempts to silence the more excellent. But the best will always rise to the top.
The future belongs to those that trample over mediocrity.
The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.
To him he’s always doing both.
~ James Michener, Author
