==Mediocrity==

Pragmatism also causes mediocrity. As Greatness, being the antithesis of mediocrity, comes from daring to think great thoughts and take great risks, however being realistic prevents this. This raises the question and thought of "What would [[Thomas Edison]] or Nicola Tesla invented if they had decided to be realistic instead of pursuing their dream? The same applies to [[Rockefeller]], Morgan, or Getty? Where would they be if they had been realistic?" <ref>https://philosiblog.com/2013/03/01/being-realistic-is-the-most-common-path-to-mediocrity/</ref> This all hinders [[innovation]], as the people who make real differences in this world are not focused on the odds, or coming up with endless reasons why something can’t work. <ref>https://lisa-christiansen.com/2012/05/17/the-most-common-road-to-mediocrity-is-being-realistic/</ref>
