AVERAGE is the top of the bottom, the best of the worst, the bottom of the top, the worst of the best. Which of these are you?
AVERAGE means being run-of-the-mill, mediocre, insignificant, and also-ran, nonentity.
Being AVERAGE is the lazy person's cop-out; it's lacking the guts to take a stand in life; it's living by default.
Being AVERAGE is to take up space for no purpose; to take the trip through life, but never to pay the fare; to return no interest for God's investment in you.
Being AVERAGE is to pass one's live away with time, rather than to pass one's time away with life; it's to kill time, rather than to work it to death.
To be AVERAGE is to be forgotten once you pass from this life. The successful are remembered for their contributions; the failures are remembered because they tried; but the AVERAGE, the silent majority is just forgotten.
To be AVERAGE is to commit the greatest crime one can against one's self, humanity, and one's God. The saddest epitaph is this: "Here lies Mr. and Ms. Average -- here lies the remains of what might have been, except for their belief that they were only AVERAGE.
-Edmund Gaudet
