What do you have to lose? You’re just going to die anyway. You may as well put in the effort to be remembered as someone who changed things and didn’t ever give up. That’s better than not being remembered.
No one who is average is ever remembered. I mean that in a big sense. If you’re hoping to make history, you’d better be prepared to make waves in your industry and in your world. Remember that classic line “Well-behaved women seldom make history”? That can certainly be extended and moulded to be about business and success. This doesn’t necessarily mean you will overturn the status quo or change the way your industry works. But you will leave a lasting impact.
Doing work which is “good enough” or putting in effort that “gets the job done” is not a recipe for amazing success. Unless you’re okay with being average. But as we’ve learned today, average is definitely not satisfactory. If you are seeking true, real, life-changing success, you will have to retrain your brain and become allergic to that horrible word: AVERAGE.
