Smart Senior

After all these years, it is time to admit that being ordinary is okay. You may not be one of the “beautiful people” that the media loves to hype, but you can be a VIP in your own right.
We all hate being average. We see others excel in sports, in education, and in high finance, and we wonder why we can’t be good at just one thing. In actuality, we should be satisfied with being good, reasonably well-adjusted people, and enjoy the life we have. Why isn’t just having a nice life good enough?
It is time to stop feeling that ordinary means average, mediocre, or dull. Instead, think of ordinary people as the normal ones.
Most ordinary people will never be superstars, but they can be good solid citizens. They may not do anything particularly well, but if they combine their talents with others, they can change the world. Seniors are a good example of this because there are so many of them. Seniors collectively have more experience and common sense than any other age group. It matters.
Look around you, have you noticed that ordinary people are in the majority? Numbers say it all. Ordinary people using their talents, opportunities, and experiences, can shine as brightly as a single superstar. This is a good thing, because where would society be without the people who work behind the scenes?
It takes many players to make up a team. Each team player is important. It is unfortunate that ordinary people have been led to believe that they are second rate because they blend into the background.
Never forget that ordinary people make up the backbone of workforces and communities everywhere. It is time for ordinary people to stop seeing themselves as too short, too tall, too skinny, too fat or too poor. They need to see themselves as the loving, caring individual that they are.
Ordinary people may not be geniuses or champions, but they are good people who recognize that hard work and small triumphs are in themselves quite extraordinary.
