Summary

This quote suggests that when individuals do not go above and beyond what is considered average or mediocre, it ultimately hinders any chance of improvement or progress. By settling for mediocrity and not pushing oneself beyond the ordinary, the overall standard or average remains low. In order to raise the average and achieve success or advancements, individuals must be willing to go beyond the minimum expectations and strive for excellence.
