You’re a real asshole.
How do you know he’s content with mediocrity? Not successful?
A majority of folks who achieve one heck of a lot do so without fanfare and celebrity.
Get a clue, Waldo.
Once again another prime example of someone who reacts emotionally to a point of view rather than present an argument to refute my position. Just a personal insult.
And you also show, like others on this thread, how you simply misunderstand the opinions I present and read into things I did not mean.
Whether one is content about his mediocrity is quite different from the fact that he is. I'm sure most people would like to have done and accomplished more in their life but were unwilling to do what it takes or
unable to for a variety of factors beyond their control. You can aspire to be the President all you want but there are simply mitigating factors beyond your control that prevent this dream from coming true.
And success and greatness are entirely two different things. Why do I have to explain this to you? There are many people who are very successful in life. Many people that have enriched the lives of many. But that's the point. There are many of them. Greatest is reserved for a precious few. I don't know you or the person I referred to as mediocre as a point of fact but I'm just playing the odds. Chances are overwhelming that anything that you, or anybody else on this board, have done that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, and certainly millions, if you add in historic content, that others have not done as well. That doesn't mean you weren't successful and didn't live a meaningful, fulfilling life -- but great? Do you think you have achieved greatness?
We all like to think that we are special. That there is some spark or have that "something-something" as Questin Tarantino use it call it, in us that distinguished us from the pack. Remember how Gronk use to always hint about how he was some genetic marvel. That if he took it seriously he could have been a top pro. That he achieved such a high level and imagine how he would be if he juiced. And when he finally announced he would go to the dark side we saw that there was really no change in his physique. At least nothing one would expect from a first-time juicer let alone a genetic marvel he claimed to me. That he was no natural genetic marvel. That he was just lying all along.
The fact is that you and I are not special. That we are just ordinary guys trying to keep body and soul together. Trying to do the best that our inclination, drive, and talents allow. That we are never going to achieve anything that thousands of others before, present and after us haven't achieved as well is nothing to feel insulted or hurt about.
You can be angry, call me names, think I'm a bad person; but what you can't do is prove me wrong with a coherent argument devoid of name calling and gay imagery.
Being mediocre, being average, is not meant as an insult. It's simply a fact. Being average, that bloated middle of the Bell Curve, is simply, by definition, where the vast majority of us reside. As the asymptote to the right of the curve gets closer and closer to zero -- that is where greatness lies. As I said, that is reserved for a precious few. Also by definition. There's no shame in not being in that lofty position. We can still be successful, happy and fulfilled.
