Mediocrity

  I realized today that hard work doesn't pay off. Think about it, it doesn't really matter how well we do in something, it matters how poorly everyone else does. Once everyone is put into the bell curve, the bad become average, the average become good, and the great just blend in. Some work ethic, huh? We could be mediocre, but in a place where the average person is inadequate, mediocre is considered great. How could we ever reach our full potential in a culture of mediocrity??!
