Mediocre is sometimes OK

Many things can be allowed to be mediocre. Evaluate the value of an effort based on long term effect on the youth or the program.
  • Will an activity that is worth surviving survive even if you don't put a huge amount of time into it? Protect your time and your volunteers' time for the truly important things.
  • As I warn my achievement oriented youth, beware of the tendency to make an “A” four times over. There comes a point at which additional preparation will add very little. Stop at that point.
  • On the other hand, flying by the seat of your pants or faking it is not acceptable either. Simply spend enough time preparing and executing each item.
