Mediocrity

Seth Godin has written many books. One of them is entitled The Dip. Have you read it? Get it, read it and keep it in close proximity. What is the book about? A can of smokeless tobacco? Something at an intersection that will damage your car if you do not slow down? Something you put on your fruit or vegetables? It might be all of that, but it is also something else. Godin describes The Dip as the seventh time you fall on your butt when you are trying to learn to snowboard. It is another job interview - the fifth one, in fact - when you never get a return call. The Dip is a temporary setback. You can get through The Dip if you keep working and stay positive. Don't be mediocre. You are so much better than that. Don't stay there (in mediocrity) just because you are busy or in the middle of some adversity. Today's Winning Thought: I love what Todd Duncan said about being mediocre. Duncan writes, "In your efforts to be successful, you will face challenges that do not arise when you are struggling to be mediocre."
