Assignment 19- Ben Lambert

My favorite piece of advice that I've received comes from my mom, and goes something like "it doesn't matter what you want to be, but whatever it is, you better be the best." This has always stuck with me on a deeper level and has often motivated me to strive for success. Something I have always feared is being average. Growing up, working in a cubicle for 40 years, having a couple kids, blah blah blah. If I'm working at a small company, I want to be owning it. If I'm a politician, I want to be the president. And if I'm a garbage man, I better be the best garbage man out there. This advice has always appealed to me and I greatly appreciate it. I also appreciate the freedom I have been given to be whatever it is I desire, knowing that I will be given full support from my parents.
