Are you "excellent" or "common"?


The Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset wrote:
The difference between  an "excellent" human being and a "common" one is that the first asks a lot of himself while the second asks nothing.
How much do I ask of myself? How much do YOU ask of yourself? To what extent are we ready to go in order to live better, to "be" better? Prefer to bury your head in the sand - once again - and not think about it?
