You cannot afford to be
comfortable with being an average person. You are more than you think. There is so much in you
and you are so much valuable to this world that GOD had to keep you alive up to
now. Don’t be shy of being successful. Great nations are made up of people who
are not ashamed of success.
The time when I was in high school, I used to feel
bad when someone got higher marks while for me I got low marks every time. It took
time for me to improve because I thought it was wrong to feel like that. One
day it troubled me so much that I started asking myself why I was not getting
results which I loved, results which I would gladly show to everyone. Refuse to be
comfortable with low marks, refuse to be comfortable being someone who just
gets average. You can be more than you are now only if you decide to be
uncomfortable with poverty. Some of you especially those at high school, college or university, you
might be happy and comfortable getting 50%, 51%, comforting yourself that at
least it is above 40%. Really? Is that all you can become, 50%? You can only
get marks higher than 50% if you start being uncomfortable with 50%.
Don’t raise
an apology for doing what you believe is right.
Decide to be uncomfortable
with average, if you cannot be pushed by conditions around you, at least be
attracted or inspired by the excitement of those who have discovered their
purposes in life. If you think there is no more to what you can become than
what you are now, if you think this is all you can become then this is a wrong article for you because you have already arrived. But to those of who believe
there is more to what you can become, I believe with you because even myself
this is not all I can become, I am still discovering more and more. Do not be
limited by the standards of this world.
