About This Quote

Don’t wish the world demanded less of you. Rise up and exceed its standards. This is a quote from William Shakespeare, and it is about how we should strive to become better than the world demands of us. It is about not wishing that we could live in a place where we weren’t expected to be perfect all the time. Instead, we should strive to be better than the world expects of us and to leave nothing behind us but our own excellence.
