Mediocrity is self-inflicted. Genius is self-bestowed.
Walter Russel.
Mediocrity is perhaps mankind's worst crime. Every day we choose to be normal. We just hang around and wait for others to make a difference for us. All of the people who have made a difference up to today were over achievers. They are people who looked mediocrity in the eye and showed it their middle finger.
So instead of just sitting there everyday waiting for things to happen, why don't you start making them happen by yourself. Everyone is a genius.
