Why dink around? Go for it, be the best. It is worth whatever risk there is even if you fall short. You will be better.

Great post. If it were only as simple as being able to say one or the other. Really, at the highest level, it is about having the whole package. At lower levels, it's about maximizing each to the greatest of our capabilities.
