MEDIOCRITY
Mediocrity is the opposite of innovation. It is an attitude which influences what you do and how you do it. Mediocre people are ordinary, average, prosaic, amateur, and uninspiring. They walk in darkness and are ready to bring others into their obscurity. They know nothing yet they pride themselves in their unremarkable ignorance.
The place for excellence is found outside mediocrity zone. Otherwise, a mediocre fellow will beat you to stay and relax for the danger of the unknown. In the journey of life, you have a choice to make to get better. So, you must say NO to mediocrity. Don’t be contented with OK and don’t be OK with the way it is.
Mediocre people find it difficult to pursue their dreams because from their point of view things are always pretty hard and they don't believe in the principle of possibility. A mediocre life is a wasted life and it causes you to be at the mercy of failure. Mediocre people want everything to happen with ease without making any sacrifice or risk. In this sense, they accept the result of their inglorious success.
'People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents’ Andrew Carnegie
Be okay with inspiring, amazing and most especially excellence. The thin line between mediocrity and excellence is willingness. Therefore, you have the will power to move out of your comfort zone, bad habits and all that limit you. If you really want a marked effect, you should never live your life in mediocrity. Reach out for excellence.
