They say,   You could do so much better.   Shoot for the stars not the clouds. The thing is, what if I want to shoot for the clouds and the birds in life? What if I'm scared to death of failure? I can't even handle the idea of failing. People don't understand that I am okay with mediocre. I don't care if I am the very best. I just want to be good enough. I don't ask a lot of myself because I always dissapoint. So now when they say   You could do so much better. I will reply   Yes I know, but I don't want better.
