"Mediocrity can be defined in many ways. To paint you a picture, mediocrity is doing an "okay job," having a relationship that "works," being just "a little" overweight, or having a job that "pays the bills." Mediocrity is putting up with things the way they are with no firm plan to change the situation by a specific date. Mediocrity is following a predetermined and unfulfilling path. Most people live in a state of mediocrity. Mediocrity is as close to the bottom as it is the top."
