The athlete who does not try to overcome the record established by his predecessor will always be mediocre. He will be a "good" runner or a "good" swimmer but nothing more. Excellence can be attained only when you dare to go a little further, when you become aware of your own abilities and you listen to your intuition, the voice of your true self which tells you: “Try, go on, endeavour, you can do it!” There are many goals you can aspire to: material, moral or spiritual, according to your nature and to your present needs. Mental narrowness, i.e. the incapability to see beyond your own nose, or the outright rejection of any idea that appears to be new or different, that seems to defy traditional beliefs, is a characteristic of the ignorant person. “Ignorance" does not only mean "not knowing", it mainly means a voluntary negation of mankind's capability to overcome its limits. Only when you are fully aware that you can do it, shall you be able to soar – like a majestic eagle - above mediocrity. Can a goal be more appealing?
