If you think of the lives of great artists, heroes, geniuses – those human beings who left a durable legacy – you can’t help feeling small, almost insignificant. But the fact that you are neither a genius nor a hero does not prevent you from having high ideals. An individual’s greatness is not measured by how much one has done, but by the quality of one’s actions. What really counts is having a goal to achieve, beyond the daily living. You should aim at the “perfection” of what you do, not accepting to remain a mediocre, anonymous member of the flock. The idea of perfection should encourage you to work to improve what you are and push you towards what you can be. And this, believe me, is “heroic” enough!
