“So why should someone bother trying to be exceptional? Most people don’t. Most people never commit themselves to doing anything that offers worse than fifty-fifty odds of success. Most people choose to live lives that are as safe and secure as they can make them. But then, most people don’t really think through the human situation. We’re blessed with one life, and that’s all we can be certain about. They take that one life they’re given and they drift through it. Maybe they’re satisfied with that.”
