We can’t be the best all the time, and we don’t have to be (in general) but rather than trying to be the best all the time, wonder if it’s best to spend our time being average or above average and being the “best” in some other way?
In the pursuit of excellence, it seems that we’ve forgotten one simple thing: There’s nothing wrong with being average.
Average means our kids have strengths in some areas and weaknesses in others.
Being average is not a guarantee of failure, and having above-average test scores or grades doesn’t guarantee success.
