There you go, I am exceptionally average. But you know what, I am ok with that. I do not have to be the smartest or the strongest, I am me and I am happy with that. Here are a few reasons why it is dangerous to tell everyone that they are special. There are a lot of young people today who are absolutely frustrated with their lives, and it is all because they were fed this idea that they were special. Right now, there are a good amount of young people flipping hamburgers at McDonalds, and I applaud them for it.
Flipping burgers is NOT a bad thing at all. But in their eyes it is a bad thing.
They were taught that they were special, and special people do not flip hamburgers. These young people are going out into the real world, thinking that they are going to be that special person who is going to change it once and for all, and then suddenly realizing that the world does not really care about their opinions or ideas, and that instead of suddenly being placed above the pack, they have to work their way up.
As I said, there is nothing wrong with working a entry level job, but to those who have been told that they were special, it is a tough pill to swallow.
The Incredibles- If Everyone Is Special, No One Is
Being told that you are special makes you the hero of your story. And that is absolutely true, you are, but then we also start treating other people in our lives as if they are merely supporting characters in our own story. It is an interesting problem. We need to teach our children, and understand for ourselves, that other people matter and that we should treat others as individuals who have their own cares, problems, and lives. There will always be someone smarter, there will always be someone stronger, someone will always be making more money than you, and someone will always be higher up the corporate ladder than you.
I know that what I have said goes against common wisdom. But stay with me, I believe that instead of emphasizing how special everyone is, we ought to be emphasizing these things:. You may not be the very best, but you can do your very best. Being the best version of yourself will automatically set you head and shoulders above the rest of the crowd. Take what you are naturally good at and become better at it. For example, I am gifted in public speaking. I try to sharpen my skills in that area to keep making myself better and better.
I am not good at body building, and although I will do things like that in order to better myself, my primary focus ought to be sharpening my skills in something that I am already good at in order to become excellent.
Not Everyone is Special
Accept who you are. I am not saying to accept mediocrity, or to give up on trying to be better. Instead, I am saying to stop comparing yourself to other people. Everyone else is on their own journey, they will be ahead of you in some areas and behind you in some areas. One of the keys to being happy is to stop focusing on everyone else and simply pay attention to your own personal progress.
I really like that.

I will not stop seeking, trying and exploring until I find the right path that will lead me to where I should be. What is your view of the world as it is today? And how do you define the concept of a better world?
I think the world is currently in chaos, especially with the wars, the terrorism, the hatred and all the economic and social instability that are taking place around the world. Nevertheless, I am optimistic about a better tomorrow and a better world. I believe that we can only make the world a better place for everyone by starting with changing and improving ourselves as individuals. I believe that the key challenges are finding the guidance and mentoring especially for young adults, political and economic instability and high levels of unemployment.
I also think that people are not given the same quality of education in schools which creates a huge gap between individuals in terms of mentality and exposure as well.
