I was revising my statistics chapter today and met the three brothers (mean,median,mode) again with their naughty lil sister (standard deviation). To come to think of it average is an under-rated term. It is undoubtedly essential for all but receives a step-motherly treatment when it has to be asknowledged. Excellence has always been kept on a pedestal but in actuality its the average which has been driving this world.
If it weren't, the statistics would have emphasised on the majors,extremes and highest values on the graphs instead of the middle values. Average represents a group and yet it has an identity of its own unlike the members of the group. It is unique and yet so humble to quietly accept its rank while delivering whenever required. Man has a tendency to associate itself only with the best despite the fact that its the average who work and run a system. Its the average who make brilliance seem apart in contrast to them. Without average, perfection is baseless and so is its inflated ego.
We might not deserve the laurels & trophies for being the best, but we are consistent performers. I take pride in being amongst the average because it makes me unique.
