Mediocrity is the opposite of innovation. It is an attitude which influences what you do and how you do it. Mediocre people are ordinary, average, prosaic, amateur, and uninspiring. They walk in darkness and are ready to bring others into their obscurity. They know nothing yet they pride themselves in their unremarkable ignorance.
The place for excellence is found outside mediocrity zone. Otherwise, a mediocre fellow will beat you to stay and relax for the danger of the unknown. In the journey of life, you have a choice to make to get better. So, you must say NO to mediocrity. Don’t be contented with OK and don’t be OK with the way it is.
Mediocre people find it difficult to pursue their dreams because from their point of view things are always pretty hard and they don't believe in the principle of possibility. A mediocre life is a wasted life and it causes you to be at the mercy of failure. Mediocre people want everything to happen with ease without making any sacrifice or risk. In this sense, they accept the result of their inglorious success.

'People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents’ Andrew Carnegie

Be okay with inspiring, amazing and most especially excellence. The thin line between mediocrity and excellence is willingness. Therefore, you have the will power to move out of your comfort zone, bad habits and all that limit you. If you really want a marked effect, you should never live your life in mediocrity. Reach out for excellence.

Hello friends😀😀😀

Nothing propels you for success than the knowledge and an assurance of your functional self. 

Are you someone that carries out research for a long essay and expect to find answers from the data supplied by others? The data supplied by others is dependent on the level they have attained. Man can only define you as far as he has been defined.

Many are really confused in between what they do and who they are. The truth is that your capacity may be beyond what you do even though there is a strong connection between what you do and your functional self. What you do is much more smaller than your functional self.

So, nothing propels you for success than a knowledge and assurance of your functional self. This assurance is not an exercise that you take a journey into the dictionary for irrespective of whether you are educated or not. It is not plausible to hear one say that he does not know his functional self.

You need courage and sincerity to accept the degree of your imperfection. You are the sole determinant of your progress in life. In this sense, you are in the right position to determine what suits you simply because your present position cannot determine things that are yet to come.

The fact that you are a product of an environment does not mean you have to be defined by that environment or be restricted to the environment. You need constant personal evaluation to enhance your capacity when properly channelled. Self-underutilization is as a result of inadequate knowledge of oneself.

It is pertinent to define positivity as an aspect of yourself so as to be functional and operational in life for success. Always remember that

The definition of your functional self should inspire other’s operational self. Don’t just live your life the way it comes, define what you want to achieve in life.

Are you functional towards achieving your goals or are you still aiming?

This is our last chance
This is our last time

Oh! Feelings just fail me now
Please, you said to take me to the finish line
Now my heart is soft and senile
You always said we were Fine
We are here at the battle line
I died, just realizing  you were never mine..

We were born to Vibe. 


My life sinks, Watching as this city shines
Are our life's series of mistakes or designs?
I feel dead, I should resign
All I have ever wanted faces me in repine

We were born to Ride

Still you make me wanna grow
Wanna kiss you and see your eyes glow
All ever wished was for us to flow
Now I guess we'd never know.
This is our last chance
This is our last time
Take me on a walk outside
Feel me with angelic Vibes

Don't make me lie
 Don't make me cry
Just make me laugh
Make me an epitaph
Those are my last words

We were born to Die.

Setting a standard involves an independent and comprehensive self involvement.

Goals are the master skills to achieve success. All the great and successful people are intensely goal oriented. They set goals that will make a difference. You cannot achieve beyond what you have programmed for yourself. Goals have certain requirements which are depicted in the personal standards you uphold.

These requirements are met in form of the standards you create for yourself everyday. Once you have a clearly defined personal standard for yourself, working towards the standard for your goal becomes much more easier. By setting standards, you set a clear precedent you must live by and follow.

The world expects a standard level of quality for everything. Set standard for creativity, academics, love and wisdom. This standard involves an independent and comprehensive self involvement. When you set this standard, you wouldn't want to settle for less. It is a kind of persistency that fuels the furnace of what you want to become.
 
 Presently, Societies are decaying and people are getting frustrated. One of the reasons for this is that people have stopped setting high standards for themselves. Setting a high standard for yourself cut across the level of integrity with interaction with which you live your personal life, how you conduct your profession and interaction with people. To achieve this, you have to be committed to your dream. Have you ever wondered what separates the highest achievers from everyone else? They have set standards which is the pillar of expectations that they have for themselves. If you don't set standards, you are lacking self esteem thereby, prone to influence.
   
  However, you must have a personal standard working mechanism. This is depicted in your relationship with people, your dress code as well as efficiency at work or school. These features are on show for people with or without your consciousness because you are sending signals to people about who you are. Life has given you the chance to be surpassing. Take your goal to the next level in allusion to reality. Strive for the best and recurring betterment.

 Your complex mental state involving beliefs, feeling and values to act in a certain way comes before the results of the standards you have set for yourself. The standard you set for a goal is a representation of yourself otherwise the society will set it for you.
