I was reviewing my daughters latest book report.  She is reviewing a book about Martha Graham; a pioneer of modern dance, and I came across the following quote: "Everyone has the right to fail, you fail and from your failure you go up one more step- if you've got the courage to get yourself up.  There is only one cardinal sin and that is mediocrity."

So the answer is.... good enough gets job done; greatness takes courage!

Hi, Dan. I totally agree! A lot of times people get really content with "Good" and never achieve "Greatness." Getting to that next step takes a lot of courage indeed!

Dan-  I love that quote!  What an amazing lesson for all of us to remember!  I think that it important that we always remember that we can't always succeed, but if we learn from our failures we will become even more successful.
