"Most of us will
settle for fine.
Most of us will stream
mp3s instead of asking a friend to play the guitar.
Most of us will run on a
treadmill at the gym instead of going to the park.
Most of us will watch 10
second videos on a computer instead of going to a play.
Most of us will eat
something we can throw in the microwave instead of learning to cook.
Most of us will aspire to
being known, to being famous for just a little while.
Most of us will be willing
to be embarrassed, to hurt ourselves, if it means being known.
Most of us will be more
concerned with that, with being known, than being remembered by anyone special.
Most of us will decide
that it's too soon or too late in life to go after what we really want.
Most of us will never
actually sit down and think about what we really want.
Most of us will spend more
time reading status updates than we spend reading books.
Most of us will take more
pictures of ourselves than actually looking at the world around us.
Most of us will take the
one unique and precious life we've been given and spend it being, just ok.
Most of us will make do.
And you will meet most of
us and when you do, remember this.
Be the few.
Be the few."
