Hey Shawn –

My sad response to mediocrity has been to mutter a 2 word phrase every time I run into it – “of course…”

When confronted with the monotone slack jaw vacant stare across the counter asking me “may I help you?” with obvious disdain or apathy.

Of course

When the “company policy” treats me like a nuisance instead of a valuable resource called “our customer”

Of course

Don’t even get me started about Million Dollars Hype Sales letters for the next get rich on the Internet screed…

Of course

But, while I’ve become the Cynic’s Cynic, I do stand up and sing the praises of people who do things well – people who stand up and make a difference.

I can see you are fed up with mediocrity and look forward to seeing you make some noise.

You inspire me.

Of course… 8-)

Shawn, You have hit the nail on the head with our tolerance of mediocre behavior. Why is it we are putting up with this way of life? My friends and I have laughed about the bar of expectation and how we have to just “step over it.” I have another friend who says he needs a geiger counter as the bar is under ground… so your challenge is perfect.. that we set the standard of excellence in what we do and expect the world to behave the same way! C quality work is not acceptable! Right on!
