i think thAt this speech is really entertaining. it has its good points, but what i was really thinking is that is this how, we the youth, think nowadays. that being average is more than enough; is this how we address the problems we face; that getting by is our only goal.
What if our ancestors have this mindset in something like this, that killing an animal by running after them is enough, no spear or anything, the average way of hunting for dinner. if that was the case then i guess we would still be wearing nothing today.
i think the concept of 'average' only exist in books, what i think is that there is no average person in this world. everyone is exceptional in their own unique little way, i know it sounds cliched, but i strongly believe that this is true. think of someone just anyone, someone you think that you are superior to; then think of the things that you can do that he cant, can you be certain that he cant do that. what if he is thinking of you as his inferior does that make you even??? NO. that doesnt make you averages, that makes you exceptional in a different way.
Our society values exceptional people in different ways, for example an exceptionally intelligent academician is not as valued if you bring him to a wrestling match. how we see things is relative to what their position is in our universe. I sincerely believe that no is average. But still there are stupid people out there who cease to use their thinking capacity.
