Averages are always seen at a distance, and we are all average if looked
at from far away. But get close enough and none of us are average. We
don’t like to think of ourselves as average and the reason for that is we
know that we aren’t. It isn’t a hopeful wish, it is a truth. Each of us have
elements of the average, of course. But none of us is average in our
totality.
The key is not to realize it about ourselves. We know that already. The
key is to realize it about others.
“The average person thinks he isn’t.” – Larry Lorenzoni
