Damn mediocrity is elusive. Can’t strive for it (by definition), can’t stumble into it, can’t buy it. How does it manage to dominate?

Oh that’s easy! You strive for excellence and (this is the tricky part) give up at some point.
Like learning to fly by missing by the ground.
It’s not aiming low. It’s about aiming high and *missing* due to insufficient commitment.
Overreach, undershoot. Hope for luck.
