Good, The Enemy Of Great

Good is good, and so often it ends there.

The problem is, good left alone steadily degrades's until it becomes not good.

Good gives a false sense of security. Good makes us comfortable. Good makes us feel we can let our guard down. Good lulls us to sleep. Good makes us complacent.

So while good is good, it's not good enough. Pushing to be great is what keeps us awake and away from the dangerous ground of good.

When it's bad, it's obiovusly bad and needs improvement. When it's good, the feeling is often, "why improve?".  The answer is, to stay relevant and to stave off failure.
