Mike Melton argues that mediocre people can't stand high achievers because they refuse to tolerate low standards. He challenges listeners to pick a side: are you elite or mediocre? Excellence isn't negotiable.
Mediocre people don't like high achievers at all. High achievers hate mediocre people because they— why? Because they have low standards. Everything they're doing, they're not doing their best. High achievers are fucking elite people because the high achievers will not tolerate mediocre at all, right? So everybody's got to buy in to the same damn standards. The whole team, you have to buy in, right? Everybody has to buy in to the same standards. Question is to y'all, I want you to ask yourself, which one are you? Are you gonna be a high achiever or just a mediocre person? Like me, I'm a very, very high achiever. That's why I don't tolerate mediocre— mediocrity at all. I've been a high achiever since I was a little kid, and I'll still be a high achiever till I fucking die. They put me in the fucking ground or fucking burn me up.
