Thought for the day...
We gain nothing by being with such as ourselves: we encourage ourselves in mediocrity - I am always longing to be with men more excellent than myself!
Charles Lamb

I think this is true. How often do you come across someone with real charisma, or real drive? And if you do, how often do they inspire you to do better than if left to your own devices? I just wish I was one of these golden characters - a leader instead of a follower. I'm just too lazy. Maybe that could be my resolution this year - be more dynamic. Follow through on those little things. Be Excellent instead of Mediocre.

There's a plan!

It's funny that I read your entry today because I was thinking about this sort of stuff this afternoon - driving home from a busy and unnerving day at work. Some situations made me think: this is not getting me anywhere; I get along with many people there, but most of them are not really interesting in terms of charisma, drive or brainpower. So I decided not to get even more frustrated over this fact, but instead to stick with the truly attractive ones in this respect.
Maybe that's a little off from what you were trying to get at, but I fully agree with you (and Charles...).
Cheers!
