When I was a boy, we were taught to reach for the moon. Literally. I was 10 years old when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the dust of the lunar surface and left footprints that lie undisturbed to this day. A striving for excellence was the norm. We were taught that it required hard work, critical thinking and personal drive. We were competitive by nature, and though the end results for everyone were different, few felt anything but shame in not doing their best.
