one morning
a mom named Del
is challenging her son
to do some Math exercises
she gave him the range
of the minimum items
he could answer
to the maximum problems
he could solve
Cooper, her son
thought out loud
and said
"i'll just finish solving
my minimum requirement"
when Del heard this
she sat her son down
and talked to him —
Cooper, she said,
if you will only be
solving the minimum
when you can solve for
the maximum items
then, you are limiting
your potential
you owe it to yourself
not to limit your potential
we are not minimum people
we are maximum people
