In Praise of Mediocrity: A way to happiness by being less extraordinary and more like everyone else

What’s the problem with being mediocre?

Seriously, where did this idea come from that people who do not pay your bills have the right to criticize your results, to say that you are living below your capabilities?

Who said that the only decent way to live is as a champion of everything?

Happiness, which should be easily available to everyone, has become the subject of fierce competition. Happiness has been restricted to high-achievers, to extraordinary people.

When, in fact, happiness should be a common, everyday event.

Enough with bowing to the rules of champions. The time has come for a philosophy of life that contemplates not the losers, but those who do not even engage in any dispute.
