Lets settle for ehhh

I will admit to a certain healthy dose of laziness sometimes.  I will admit to doing things as needed instead of ahead.  I will even admit to trying to find the easy way to do things to avoid a more difficult route.  But I cannot understand nor could I ever settle for mediocrity.  I see people settle for the mediocre and I just don't get it, especially if with just a tiny bit of effort with whatever they are trying to do  - it can be fantastic.  I just don't know how to do it, really.  I cannot look at a job and see the "ehhh" effort as appealing.  So that is why it is particularly frustrating to me when I interact with people who are comfortable with mediocrity.  They argue there is no reason to try to make things better because nobody suffered permanent damage when they had to settle for "ehhh" in the past.  I just don't get it and you know what?  I am glad that I don't   I don't want to live in a mediocre world, with mediocre happiness, and mediocre children, or spouse, or a mediocre testimony, or mediocre results from anything I do.  I cannot settle for "ehhh."
