Why We Gradually Become Mediocre
I am not sure how others become mediocre, but I can only talk about myself.
I feel that I am just an ordinary person.
Neither outstanding nor inferior.
Always lingering at the bottom of society.
I use "lingering" to describe my current life because I have a mentality of just getting by.
I have read a lot of inspirational books, and I have learned about many successful people's journeys from history and the media.
And I found that I can't achieve success and fame, only because I lack perseverance, am timid in the face of challenges, and am powerless in reality, lacking creativity.
I have always been walking on a path that most people choose or are forced to take.
I have no way of experiencing the small paths and shortcuts that a few people take.
This is related to the environment I grew up in. It cannot be changed.
Although I don't believe that there is nobility and virtue among the high-ranking officials, reality is like this.
I think bowing down to reality is a very pessimistic mentality.
It can also be understood as an excuse I am looking for myself.
This is how I find various excuses for my mistakes and laziness every day, which is why I become more and more mediocre.
Who doesn't want to live an exciting life?
Successful people are just a minority.
Most people just want to live.
Well, this is just my excuse.
