The Greatness of Mediocrity
		Over the years people have split their options into two categories. Doing well or doing awful. This decision has plagued those with jobs that require them to master several different skills (fast food. grill, drinks, sandwhich making, front register, etc.). Option one: excell at the task and your employers will never let you leave that position. Option two: really suck at it and be free to test these options on another job. Basically people tried to excell in positions they liked and did the opposite for positions they didn't like. However this presents a problem. If you are trained for several positions in a row that you're don't like and you purposefully suck at at, you justs may get fired. What if you suck at a certain task, but like doing it?                  Now, employers don't use the same standards either. If you're good, they make you do it a lot, but if you suck they make you do it a lot because they realize that you'll never get better unless you practice. This brings us to mediocrity. If you're mediocre at something your employers with think "Well s/he isn't great, but they don't need practice either." You will be not good enough to be stuck there all the time, but not bad enough to be given practice. I suppose you're thinking, "If your average at something, won't employers train you until you're great?" No. If you suck then all your trainers want is for you to reach a level of mediocrity. If you're already there they'll decide not to waste their time as well as yours, training you for something that you kind of allright at.                  So take it from me. Don't be good. Don't be bad. Be completely average and you will be happy with your job.
