The Truth About Average

Average is just as close to the bottom as it is to the top.

I used this today on a co-worker. I don’t know who said it, where I read it or when.

All I know is it is the truth. 100 % fact. No doubt.

If you think that you’re okay just because you think you’re an average worker, you’re wrong.

I hate average people. I hate wishy-washy. I hate fence riders.

Make a decision, Morty. ( remember that line from Bill Murray ? If you know what movie it was, leave me a comment. First one to identify it gets a link, a post, an opportunity to post, or some digital ebook that I can send you )

I’m not sure why people get up in the morning and go off to school, work, the lake, the golf course or wherever it is they go, and go there without the idea of being exceptional, remarkable or unforgettable.

If you’re average, you’re just as likely to get gobbled up by the world as those that are just below average. Think of it like this: You and I are on a golf course in the Canadian Rockies. We come to hole 11 and we hit our drives over by a river. Cold rushing water with Salmon swimming upstream to get to the place where they turn them into fish-oil capsules. A bear see’s us and starts to chase us. You are an average runner. I’m not. I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you.

There is absolutely no reason to ” Wake Up And Be Average ! “. You ever see that book on the NY Times Bestseller list ? Me neither. Then why the heck do you do it ?
