Swanson Pyramid of Greatness


This is awesome. In an episode of Parks and Recreation earlier this season, character Ron Swanson is coaching a kids' basketball team. He introduces them to the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness, a calibrated system of personal achievement that he's been working on for years.

Entries include:

  • Capitalism: God's way of determining who is smart, and who is poor
  • Greatness Itself: The best revenge
  • Discipline: The ability to repeat a boring thing over and over again
  • Intensity: Give 100%. 110% is impossible. Only idiots recommend that
  • Honor: If you need it defined, you don't have it
