We always complain to God that why he didn’t give us
extraordinary talents. What if I had the talent of Sachin, or say Albert
Einstein. This kind of thought is prevalent among most of us(including me). No, I’m not going
to teach how to become extraordinary. Instead I’ll tell you why being mediocre
is Awesome.
- The majority of the people in the world are mediocre. So, extraordinary people are kind of an aberration. Something is really wrong with them.
- Extraordinary people always carry too much expectations on their shoulders(Sachin). Does anybody expect Ashish Nehra to get 5 wicket hauls everytime? Think.
- They find success too easily and so they seldom know it’s real value but mediocre people work really hard to get success which gives them more happiness than the latter. Remember, success is a journey and not a destination.
- Most extraordinary people are emotionally imbalanced and have a very poor social life but for us a birthday party is way more exciting than working on the Theory of Relativity
- Extraordinary people are always envied upon and have few friends but everyone likes to a have a mediocre friend who is equal to him.
- Mediocre guys always get girls. You know that girls are impressed by that 'last row guy' having 2 arrears rather than a topper.
- Extraordinary people always think too much and end up in a confused state.
- They may earn more money and become multi-millionaires and in most cases get spoilt. Mediocre people earn just the sufficient money to sustain themselves and which keeps them checked. Remember, less is more.
Reminds me of the story of the 'Fox and the grapes'
ReplyDeletehmm what do I say..I am a mediocre person but will forever harbour the dream of being an extraordinary aberration.
ReplyDeleteBeing mediocre is better than WANTING to be mediocre. Being mediocre is a great way for you/us to choose our interest and work to become extraordinary at it.
ReplyDeleteI do agree about extraordinary people not having a good social life, it's quite true.
