achieving greatness takes work
===
“There are countless ways of achieving greatness, but any road to achieving one’s maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity.”

Here is a truth: Doing great things takes work.
Yup.
No matter how easy the great make it look <whatever “it” is> … “it” takes focus … some attitude <okay .. a lot of attitude> and a commitment to getting the shit kicked out of you along the way.
Sorry about that folks but, yes, a commitment to getting the shit kicked out of you.
Greatness is not a smooth road.
Because unfortunately greatness isn’t really a balanced relationship. What I mean by that is that along the way … the really great people truly show respect for all and everyone. But, yet, other people get to play by other rules <i.e., others don’t have to show respect for other individuals>.
Yes.
It sucks.
Not everyone plays by the same rules let alone the rules themselves.
But sometimes the rocky road is far more interesting and rewarding in the end.
And often, it seems, the rocky road is the high road.
Simply … greatness is achieved by winning the right way despite the fact others play the wrong way.
