There is one thing which I can claim to be perfect at! Yes I am a perfectly mediocre person- cent per cent! You will not come across a more mediocre person than me- Mediocre in height, mediocre in looks, mediocre in school, mediocre in college and university, mediocre in my career and you can name it.....!
and who remembers a mediocre guy? Do you remember who was the topper in your class? Off-course you do! Do you remember the guy who came last- I bet you do that as well! But do you remember a guy who was somewhere in the middle? I can bet my last penny on it, you do not. Ditto with the guy who was the best looking guy and well, the one perhaps who was really not good looking, but well the guy who was average looking, I am sure you are already whacking your head on it!
But guys (and girls) I guess after tolerating the obscurity for centuries, I guess somebody has to step in for the mediocre. And who better to do it than the self confessed Mr Perfect Mediocre! Yes I am taking the gauntlet - the first time for the Middle guy!
If not for the mediocres who would remember the super achievers? If not for them the murkiest of the deeds of the bad guy would go unnoticed! For how do you remember the tallest tree in the forest? If all the trees were the same, how would the tall ones stand out? The Ferraris of the world out stand out due to the fiats of the world! The Aishwarya's and Katrinas of the world owe it to the most average looking girl next door! The greatness of theNapoleons and the Nelsons, the Pattons and the Rommels, were nothing but to the average bloke in the army slogging their asses off for these greats!
Now that I have made the case for the mediocre, I am really feeling good about myself. There are guys who betray the cause of the mediocre and take a leap into the level above or maybe fall into the abyss of the level below, but, one thing you can be sure of, I will never let the mediocre down!
A hurrah for the Medicore!
