The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying."
And yet, just as a friend and I discussed, there is no cap on personal progression. How could there be? Perhaps we can "fly into flying." Why do we have to settle for intermediate stages of mediocrity? Why can't we choose today to pick ourselves up and fly?!? Why do we content ourselves with resting on a plateau--peaceful perhaps, but meaningless? It is only in taking risks that we rise.
