Average is Mean!!!

• Class Tenth exam is round the corner. In India, choosing a career of one's choice after tenth demands an impactable academic score in tenth class. Vigorous efforts are taken since class eighth or even prior to that, to pass the tenth in flying colours, to be more precise scoring 90% and above,  if not, then at least 85%.
  
• I think, about the ones who are mediocre or average!!! Yes, exactly that is the topic of my post today.
• Our generation is obsessed with the term 'average'. We have attached a negative connotation to this term. It is never taken as a compliment if someone calls you an 'average'.
  
• The pressure of being the best starts from grade school, the importance of getting those A's and not the E's, much later the career ladder---always needing to excel.

• Being mediocre is not a negative adjective.. There are chances that one is most likely to be average in many aspects of life but one may be extraordinary in other aspects. It is perfectly okay to not have it all.
• It is a fact of life, one is good at some things, bad at others. The real test is to learn something or practice something so that one can excel in the chosen thing.
• Not everyone is privileged to be CEO, or the topper, its fine if some of us are mediocre or else there is no way to measure the top or the bottom.  
  
• We all have to learn to be content with the natural talents we have or don't have, but the final point is improving our talents with constant hard work.
• Being average does not mean failure. Constant improvement is required to become extraordinary.
• All the pressure to be perfect, to be more than average, to always be striving to be 100% is seen everywhere. One has to aspire to be accomplished, talented in ones chosen field. Accepting that one is mediocre, but striving to make oneself better is very important. Then it is perfectly okay to be mediocre and this would serve as a perfect platform to be with the league of the toppers.
• It is said, 'Always Dream to reach the stars, then you will reach at least at the top of  a tree' In short think big and be positive. It is all very well to think big but not without knowing your own potentials and capacity.

• Success follows the one who constantly strives for excellence through an optimum combination of smartness and sheer hardwork!!!
  
  
• So all those appearing for tenth, do not stress, it is good if you are striving for 90' s and plus, but all those who think they are average, do not fret, give your 100% and it's perfectly okay if you are below 80% because we all are mediocres in most of the things we do, at the same time we are exceptionally good at many other things!!!!
• On a funnier note.....
• We all have studied Mathematics in school,  we all know that average is mean!!!
• So someone happens to call you average, it is so mean!!!
