About this site

Usually “average” is only comfortable. (I find it interesting that the picture shows “average” at the bottom of a trough … or is it a “rut”?)
If you want to achieve something outstanding, it is important to note that “comfortable” or “average” is not always “good”.

I’m not a statistician or anything (can you tell?), I’m just curious because it so accurately depicts this situation.
Atunu and shadowbird:
I think this illustrates the “tall poppy” syndrome, as its known in Australia, or “the nail that sticks up gets hammered down” syndrome, as it’s known in Japan
