Ever have that retail or restaurant experience that just seemed sub-par? I mean the service is bad, the food is bad, etc., to the point you think to yourself "I should talk to someone in charge about this"? The question is, did you? Did you take actions to meet the standards you've set or did you settle for what they gave you? The standards you have, both for yourself and others, determine what kind of life you'll have. However, having standards is only half the equation. The other half is being uncompromising about those standards. You deserve to get what you want and if you settle for less... you'll settle for a life that's less than what you deserve.
