I’m trying to build a community. And it seems to me that this type of community I’m trying to build is very difficult, too difficult almost. I want people who are considerate, nice, and respectful of one another. This part isn’t too hard huh. Yet I also want them to be people who ask a lot of themselves, want to be great, and are motivated to do whatever it takes to be great. This part is much harder. Lastly, I want them to all come together and be challenged as a group to do great stuff. And this makes it well nigh impossible (so it seems right now), if I want to incorporate both of the characteristics I mentioned above. When your success is related to your team members’ performances, and you want to be great, it’s hard not be demanding or dissatisfied if team members disappoint or annoy you in certain things. And humans always had trouble realizing that they may disappoint or annoy others in certain other things. 

Yet, I’m trying to build a community where everyone strives to be great, and is still tolerant of others, even when others can affect their greatness. Where are these people? Why does it seem, right now, that they are so hard to find?
