I can't stand the "good enough" crowd, I hate it when people aim for mediocrity.

It takes the same amount of time and energy to go from zero to "OK" as from "OK" to "good". From "good" to "very good" is even harder. So a lot of people (I see this a lot with artists, I'm sure it's the same with startups) stop at "OK", then see how hard it is to stand out from the crowd and how much more effort it takes and hope to being discovered (=someone doing the work and taking them to the next level and making them rich) And then they start whining because everybody tells them how talented they are.
