"Playing it safe will get you no where. You have to be willing to go after something that is bigger than you."- G. Richards, Jr

Times are harder now then they have been in the last few decades.  No longer is it acceptable for people to just be good enough, and survival of the un-fittest just won't cut it.  At this time in history it is only survival of the fittest, and those who are unable to keep up will end up becoming someone else's lunch.  In order to be able to keep moving forward and evolving, you must be willing to  throw caution to the wind and go after the big score.  The world only remembers the names of those who go after something that is, at the time, bigger then they are.   Allen Iverson is who he is because when he stepped onto the basketball court against Michael Jordan, he went after him without fear.   That's why Martin Luther King is world renowned, because he decided to take on racism against black people.   Mark Zukerberg taking on the task of creating a better social networking platform then Myspace, is why he is America's youngest billionaire.  History is littered with stories of people who had the gaul to take on others, or a task, that was bigger then they were.    You have to be honest and ask yourself if you have the wherewithal to go after something that is bigger then you, or are you going to keep wrestling with your childhood fears?  Are you going to play it safe, or will you step up and meet your challenge head on?  Remember in life, the only person that can stop you, is you.
