Live your life in such a way that it makes it very hard for other people to drift into mediocrity. Annoy them with your passion. Perturb them with your conviction and devotion to excellence. Disturb them with your perseverance. Agitate them with your resiliency. And instigate them with the fruit of your discipline. Because you don’t live among those who conform to mediocrity, you leave the world with one less excuse to dissipate in its complacency. Live this life… the kind that makes it hard for others to drift into idle vanity and such that complicates the convenience of apathy. This rigid life not only irritates, it also inspires. This is the essence of leadership. Don’t just show the way, GO the way.
