Fretting about mediocrity



Talented, by Hugh MacLeod – “Only Talented People Fret About Mediocrity”

“One of my favorite cartoons ever is a strip from Charlie Brown.

“Linus, the smartest of the Peanuts gang, has just received his first “B” ever on his report card, and now here he is, age six, fretting away about not getting into the college of his choice.

“‘I am burdened by a great potential,’ he exclaims.

“I couldn’t have put it any better. God knows I’ve tried.”

    Heard a great quote today from the movie “She’s Out Of My League.” The ex-girlfriend of one of the supporting characters says

    ‘” You were plenty good enough for me, you were just never good enough for yourself.”
