It is vital to avoid mediocrity - living a life of deadness in someone else's threadbare world.

About This Quote

While there is no shame in living in threadbare circumstances, we should avoid mediocrity and live a life of meaning and purpose. We should strive to leave a positive mark on the world and leave behind something that we ourselves will be proud of — something that we built ourselves — instead of becoming only one more cog in someone else’s machine.
