fight mediocrity (read all 3 entries…)
Mediocrity Quotes 3 years ago

Two I love are:

The most insidious influence on the young is not violence, drugs, tobacco, drink or sexual perversion, but our pursuit of the trivial and our tolerance of the third rate.
  • Eric Anderson
There’s Nothing in the Middle of the Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos
  • Jim Hightower

We need to better folks. Pick something and excel at it. Strive for excellence in at least one area of your life. Smile more, be more courteous, be an example of a better human being.

Be a better student, lover, father, mother! Work harder… come on… let’s all do something new and make a difference. Just pick one thing and then do it better.

Ok, ok, enough of a rant… but seriously who is with me?? :-)

Middle of the Road

“Middle of the road” can be associated with mediocrity, BUT can also remind us of the Maimonidian “golden path”, away from the extremes that life sometimes leads us to, the path that leads to the balance and peace that you so obviously seek.

SOooo – now to my birthday wishes for you – a day late – (hope my readings of your posts helped me get this right…) -

I hope that this year you’ll find a focal point for your personal growth,

and that that focal point willl lead you to a greater feelling of balance, purpose and peace,

so that you can build your relationships – with your family and with yourself – on a strong foundation,

that will lead to a better dialouge, especially with your wife, and hopefully allow you both to build a better future together,

for your own mutual benefit, and for the benifit of your children.

p.s. if you want to – you’re invited to send me some birthday wishes here
