The worst thing in the world you can be is average. In the United States of America, we dream big, but commonly fall very short on to a bed of complacency. If you value yourself, your intelligence, and your potential, you must diligently work aggressively towards honing your talent, gift, skill, interest, and passion(s). Without planning, practice, and execution, your dream will never be realized. Eventually, when you are of old age, you will look back with a surplus of regrets.
As a Milwaukee native, I always loved the Milwaukee Bucks and the Green Bay Packers. During my adolescence, the Bucks were good for a short number of years under George Karl as Sam Cassell, Ray Allen, Glen "Big Dog" Robinson formed a "big three." Outside of that brief period of time, the Bucks sucked. They have flirted with the playoffs a few times since, being bounced out of the first round each season or barely missing the eighth seed. The organization is average. They spend a lot of money on players and remain consistently average. Always in the middle of the pack, where they do not qualify for a top lottery franchise-changing draft pick. So at the end of every season, they find themselves overpaying for B-level players and trying again, only to fail again.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results."On the other hand, the Green Bay Packers produce great results every year including championships (greatness). From the executive level down to the worker bees, the Green Bay Packers emphasize faith, consistency, and hard work. They do not overpay free agents to come to Green Bay. Green Bay is a boring city with low-crime, strong family values, and a die-hard football fan base. There are no great malls, night clubs, or celebrities in the city. The Packers attract great talent solely on their history of high expectations and hard work. The organization demands excellence from individual players. They focus towards collective goals.
