Going the Extra Mile
There is nothing like a defining moment to snap you out of life, or consume you.
It could be an exam that you waited for 4 years, 5, 10, 20 years, to take – the bar exam, accountancy, architecture, nursing, engineering, med, teacher’s licensure exam… It could be a job interview to where you want to work for a hundred years… It could be the olympics or a boxing bout or a title that you want to take away from someone, like maybe a beauty contest, or a book that you have always wanted to write… It could be a recital or a marriage proposal…
The single defining moment of your life.
You could be mediocre. You could be winner.
I first heard the word “mediocre” from my teacher in Broadcasting 101. She made it sound like it is something we should not desire. That “just getting by” is the loser’s mantra and that we are not that.
