Mediocrity

What is mediocre? From dictionary.com, mediocre is " Moderate to inferior in quality; ordinary". Everyone likes to be excellent, but if there's excellence, there'll be mediocrity. We've knowingly entered the rat race of survival of the fittest.

Maybe, just maybe, I'm indulged in the world of mediocrity. Mediocre in expressions, mediocre in studies, mediocre in abilities, mediocre in appearances, mediocre in thinking, mediocre in actions.... and the list goes on.... Maybe subconsciously indulging in mediocrity makes one more willing to accept defeats, since nothing's going to be worse anyway. Alas, it makes one to give up on trying to climb to the top.

P.S. This is not an emo entry

no i dun thnk u are indulging in a world of mediocrity. i believe u are really satisfied with what u have and one can no longer be mediocre if he is satisfied with his life =)
i thnk future is largely still an unknown. ur future is not really determined by what u have now. who knows? maybe in the future u are not a pharmacist but a filthy rich drug lord =) or maybe in sth totally not related to pharmacy, and ur cert now is nth but a piece of paper printed by the admin staff in the department(well if u really so desperate u can go to the office and get them to print u one piece now =)) nobody knows what will happen in the future. so how do u know if u are in a world of mediocrity? u wont know.
so just enjoy ur uni life now. though playing psp everyday and getting 3.0 for ur cap and ur scholarship withdrawn is not really recommended =P live it ur way and not let others tell u how to live ur life. if it really resorts to ur life being dependent on others', i would say thats pretty pathetic =)
so cy, no i dun thnk u are living in a world of a mediocre

PS. i really thnk we can be the world's top drug lord. after studying pharmaco monograph and pharm law =D interested? i go find sources.

Wow, that's a super long comment.... Thanks for the encouragement, i really appreciate it. But somehow, my life's dependent on others, on the emotional side that is, more like I derive my happiness from others. As long as other people are happy I'm happy. Not sure whether it's supposed to be good or bad though.
