When you start to stick out ahead of people, they try to find ways, together, to pull you back to their level. There are all kinds of rules to follow if you want people to like you, and one of them is avoiding excellence that makes everyone else look bad. (The Blackberry Bush, David Housholder, p 98)
Really? I don't want to stunt my growth planted around those weeds. I want to be the flower, not the bud that never blossoms ~ a flower amongst others flowers in a compelling, flourishing garden.
