Average

Average is virtually profanity in most athletic circles because no one wants to be it. And I understand why. Average is kind of that status that you can arrive to seemingly without hardly doing more than the minimum on any given day. Show up, go to class, at least turn in your homework and don't give the teacher a hard time. That should just about do it - AVERAGE! But I'm realizing that most of the world I encounter seems marginally interested in average. Many I talk to are far below average based on how hard they DON'T work or how much they think people owe them. I often witness people who want riches, success and fame but can't spell. Oxymoronic is an understatement. AVERAGE used to be a byword. Now we're refreshed to see an average effort and that's alarming. God has called humans to incredible capacities that are insulted every time we settle. I hope the world will tire of its cheating at pick-up games of basketball at LA Fitness. It's so unbecoming for people to cheat, rob, and feign knowledge as a means to get "stuff" in life. If people had average initiative or better I wonder how much better the world would be.
