Three Questions

Useful messages are "actionable." They help resolve dilemmas or at least clarify choices. 

Often life shares questions with "answers" specific to you. 

There's a true story about a Surgery examination. The professor told the doctors, "I know that you all have studied and are a capable group. If you choose not to take the examination, you will receive a "B" for a grade. You can sit for the exam and possibly earn an "A.""

All but two students chose to accept the "B." The two who took the exam explained that they wanted a chance to prove mastery

There's no moral ambiguity intended by sharing the story. It amplifies the message from the video. Excellence has costs - sacrifice, discomfort, uncertainty. 

What's to like about MVB 26? The competitive character, the will to prepare to do hard things, stands out.
