Fuck Being Normal

I just want a normal life; be a little happy, and I will be satisfied; I just hope to become an average writer and only wish for a couple of people to read my articles and leave me a few encouraging comments. I just desire to make a little more money and be a little freer; I just, I just, I just. SLAP! What is the problem with you?

Should I always slap you and remind you that being average in this capitalist, highly competitive, and materialistic society will turn you into a tiny fart and send you straight to the bottom of the list?

Wake up! You can’t afford to be normal; why the fuck do you want to be average? I want you to be the best of the fucking best!

Michael Jordan is the best basketball player of all time, period! Eminem is the best rapper on this planet, period. Warren Buffett is the best value investor, period! Messi is the best football player of his time, period! Period, period, and period. It’s not just, just and just.

I meet many friends and clients with a great potential to strive but lack confidence, courage, energy, and vision. When I tell them they must push harder and compete on a much higher level, they crawl back, defend their comfort zone, and accept the defeat of staying average. If I check on them five years later, they moved nowhere and still struggling with their life financially.
