"Halfway Up the Mountain"

I have come to consider myself somewhat of an etymologist. I enjoy searching out the original contexts and meanings of words...and, no, I never won a spelling bee...only because we never had them in Zambia :)
Ehem! Back to our etymological discussion...
The word "mediocre" comes from a Latin root and its meaning was simply: "halfway up the mountain." The word was also used to differentiate between mountains - those that grow to "full height" and those that did not. Those that did not, apparently, were called mediocre.
Where are you? Are you growing to your full height and potential? Or are you satisfied with being...well...average?

Introducing...TSL

The SIGNIFICANT Life®? Yes. A life borne out of convictions and not preferences; a life driven by the sheer disdain for mediocrity. For some, this life is thrust upon us because achievement is next to impossible without it; for others, it must be taught and caught. This blog is meant to be a portal for “the rise against mediocrity” and a forum to discuss the tenets of perfect self-expression.

I welcome you and sincerely hope that you will discover how to perfectly express yourself…
