meticonquest
noun
A battle with the fear of failure, a struggle against the weight of mediocrity. The relentless quest to exceed both personal expectations and those of others, refusing the middle ground because the stakes are too high to settle for anything less than success.
From Greek 'metis' (wisdom, skill) + Old French 'conqueste' (conquest), the wise battle against mediocrity and self-doubt. Pronounced "meh-tee-CON-kwest"
