Question: Is it better to succeed at mediocrity/ the trivial or fail in an attempt at greatness!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I have a quote from Theodore Roosevelt, that sums it up perfectly!.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in that grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

i'm happy to succeed at mediocrity by giving it my best shot!. i know my limitations, my resources, my capacities & capabilities!. why, then, should i feel like a failure when i can feel successful!. and this success will motivate me to go a little higher, do a little better at the next step !.!.!.so i will prefer to climb the ladder each step at a time, even if it means a mediocre step !.!.!.;-)) Www@QuestionHome@Com
