You Gat The Issue of Mediocrity-itis

Lead Image : Picture of me after getting a skin hair cut... I never wanted to but had to face my fears of being mocked whenever I did that haircut and I overcame it.

The Talented and the Multi-Talented talk the talks and also walk the walks because they have what it takes, the confidence and the capabilities to take it on. We all at one stage of our lives would have felt the urge and drive to want to stand out maybe in our field of work, academics or career wise but feel limited as we are not more than we are , not more than average - nothing more or less. A mentality drive everywhere is that if you don't have the power and capacity don't attempt it. This helps alot as it draws lines to what one can do and his/her capabilities without one being embarrassed or tagged a failure but it also limits us in exploring our full potentials and being left to live in the shadows.

The mentality that only the Outstanding and Bright minds only succeed limits some other skills into even trying or taking a step also. Feeling mediocre is a belief of inferiority complex. We think we have no outstanding features or what it takes to be one of the top achievers. Feeling like we are not at the same level as our peers and acting left out all counts as being mediocre. Many try and fail and keep trying again till they achieve something of substance and importance... they not only face difficulties from others but also from themselves.

People doubt themselves and their capabilities to take on and overcome challenges as they feel they have no special or great qualities.  There would be challenges and disturbances all through ones life and we must have the resolve to face them head on without having doubts to ourselves. Humans feed off other humans and I don't mean this literally ; all I am trying to piece is that the fools exist so that there can be the Wise , the poor exists so that there can be the Rich ... all things work hand in hand to achieve a common statement. If there were no sick people , the doctors won't work and if there is no crime, the police won't work.

Mediocrity is a natural phenomenon which must exist within the society for the development and uplifting of the system. All things being good has a bad side and all things being bad has a good side also. The issue of Mediocrity when seen as a disadvantage can be tackled by various means but all starting from one point - realising one's true potential and worth. The Rich oppresses the Poor and the Strong violates on the Weak , as it should be but what if the tables were to turn and the Poor stands up for himself likewise the weak ?

Let all learn to stand up for ourselves and one another when in a position of being considered average and ordinary as we have more we can offer than the world and ourself knows it .

May be I should be an Human Activist. 😆
