what we don’t need

we don’t need mediocrity; we need excellence

we don’t need complacency; we need motivation

we don’t need good enough; we need ‘not there yet’

we don’t need arrogance; we need confidence

we don’t need obscene gestures or vulgar language; we need consistent professionalism and humility

we don’t need trophies for us; we need communities for them

we don’t need apologies for fatigue; we need self-control

we don’t need a tyrant; we need leaders

we don’t need to isolate; we need to include

we don’t need to condescend; we need to elevate

we don’t need stars and idols; we need heroes and heroines

we don’t need whimsy or narcissism; we need rigor and discipline

we don’t need better aptitude; we definitely need better attitude

we don’t need controversy; we need cohesion

we don’t need to typecast; but we do need to teach

we don’t need to be told; we need to be shown

we don’t need to undermine; we need to understand

we don’t need to exploit, but there is room to express

we don’t need to be critical; we do need to critique

we don’t need to step on; we do need to step up

we don’t need to say why; we do need to say why not

we don’t need to be pessimistic; we need to be optimistic

we don’t need to say sorry if, but we do need to say sorry that

we don’t need to mourn what it’s not; we need celebrate what it is

we need less apathy; we need more empathy

we don’t need to capitulate to bullies, we need to stand up for the better

we don’t need to say yes; we do need to say no

we don’t need to bow to the dollar; we need to commit to the value

we give in to today, we don’t give them tomorrow
