Who Strives

Who strives for Excellence
  bristles at anything less

Who accepts Mediocrity
  settles for irrelevance

It is alarming to me but today I meet many children who "strive toward mediocrity" and I think it's a travesty!

It may well be the parents who set the bar at 'mediocre.' As they say: You can only get a kid to achieve as much as his parents want him to learn. (Most kids, anyway). :) gw
