Mediocrity is the enemy of life
How often do you hold back so that you don’t ruffle feathers? Maybe you hold back because you don’t want to be the odd one out? Or perhaps you withhold what you’re capable of because you don’t want anyone to think that you are arrogant, or full of yourself, or trying to steal the limelight?…
