I believe it to be ok to accept and even celebrate, average. Average is a good thing and represents those of us who plod along doing the best we know how to do.
I am really getting frustrated with the concept of mediocrity. I think it is a virus. It settles for “good enough.” It means that you don’t work to potential. Mediocrity settles for the lowest common denominator. The virus of mediocirty can pervade a culture and it can begin to make institutions celebrate high levels of mediocrity as excellence.
I believe in stirving for the highest point possible. If average is the highest point for a given person; then GREAT!!! The person is working up to their potential.Â
Strive for excellence!
