mediocrity

Mediocrity will sneak up on you. If you drop a frog into boiling water, he will sense the pain and immediately jump out. However, if you put a frog in room-temperature water he will swim around happily, and as you gradually turn the water up to boiling, the frog will not sense the change. The frog is lured to his death by gradual change. We can lose our health, fitness and our wealth gradually, one day at a time. It might be cliché, but that’s because it’s true. The enemy of “the best” is not “the worst”. The enemy of “the best” is “just fine." -Dave Ramsey
