About this Quote

It can be a curse because it can be difficult to measure up to the expectations that included having such a skill. It can be a concern to constantly aim to reach the greatest level of excellence. It can likewise be a curse because it can be hard to discover complete satisfaction in one's accomplishments. It can be hard to feel content when one is continuously striving for more.
