Quote

We should all strive to be extraordinary, and that starts with a focus on our own capabilities instead of those of our opponents.

Everyone's terrified of being mediocre. Everyone wants to be special.

It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation.

The deal is that I hold myself to an extremely high standard, and it's a standard that can never be... it's unattainable. But it drives me to be the very best in everything I do.

Every person is endowed with God-given abilities, and we must cultivate every ounce of talent we have in order to maintain our pinnacle position in the world.

I'm a regular person with an extraordinary job.

All greatness of character is dependent on individuality. The man who has no other existence than that which he partakes in common with all around him, will never have any other than an existence of mediocrity.

You need a lot of effort and talent to produce greatness.

I have been lucky in my life to have met people that are special, so extraordinary talented that they somehow are on a different plane. Sometimes these amazingly talented people find a way to keep reinventing themselves to stay relevant and alive. Some fall under the crushing vibrancy of their own intensity.
