The Common Man

I always like to think of myself as an average guy..
This sets expectations low and takes the pressure off.
In fact it would even better to be an underdog.

A person who thinks of oneself as a high achiever expects
success all the time, and puts an unnecessary and undue
pressure on himself/herself. An average person is more
likely to treat success and failure with equanimity.
Personally, I think that an "average" guy has a better
life and long-term success than a dazzling high-achiever.
Sustainable success and a balanced life are more important
than flashes in the pan.

Abraham Lincoln once said "God must have loved the common men-
He made so many of them"


I am OK with success or failure. No issues.
