An average story

every individual story holds the power to change the world and inspire people*
Rohit Bhargava and Jennifer Brown

Now I just assume that I’m below average. It serves me well. I listen more. I ask a lot of questions. I’ve stopped thinking others are stupid. I assume most people are smarter than me. To assume you’re below average is to admit you’re still learning.**
Derek Sivers

To claim that we are average, or,
To give it more edge,
Below average, feels like
an admission of failure, but it can be
the beginnings of a better story,
The kind of story that makes a happy dent in the world,
At least one person’s world.
