To me, this should be introduced to high school students. This quote is saying that our greatest fear isn't trying to reach the stars and to go for an extraordinary job; it's people aiming for too low of jobs, and only aiming for the tree branches. They aren't wiling to give school and/or life any kind of effort. Most kids want the easy way out, and do as little as possible to achieve that goal. They just skim by on the bare minimum. If kids would realize how important a good college/high school education is for their future, then I'm sure that we would have a lot less high school dropouts, and ten times more students wanting to succeed at a good-paying job of their choice. Sure the stars may seem out of your reach, and you think that you will never get to where you want to be because you think you're not smart enough... but in actuality, if you work hard enough and have a true desire for something, then you will stop at nothing to achieve your goals in life. No obstacle, no hindrance, no small little thing will delay you. You will want to learn all you can, and mediocrity is not an option for you. Aim for what's high above you, and the ground will never seem the same to you again.
