'Settled For?'
When were you satisfied with 'average'?
If you're into self help it was probably a long time ago, or the springboard to where you're headed now.
The truth is, few of us will naturally settle for 'average' - either in our own performances, or those of others.
We'd much prefer 'Wow!' Wouldn't you?
The thought surfaced yesterday when my daughter began raving about an 'inspirational' book she has just finished reading.
The book is "Mao's Last Dancer", by Li Cunxin.
Notice the leverage of 'Wow!'?
She recommended it to me; I'm passing her recommendation on to you.
It begins tomorrow for me - either at the library, or the bookshop.
Where will it end? 'Wow!' beats 'average' - every time!
