How to Be Ordinary

January 11th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Business, General

Welcome back!

  1. Do just enough to get by. Half-ass it!
  2. Be average and blend in. Make sure no one notices especially those you view as important.
  3. Shun responsibility. Don’t be useful to others unless you absolutely must.
  4. Stay in the middle of the pack. Avoid the front and back at all costs.
  5. Don’t be fast or slow. Be “just right.”
  6. Please the majority and ignore the eccentrics.
  7. Don’t be the first at anything. Be fourth or fifth or even tenth.
  8. Stay in your comfort zone at all times.
  9. Look and act like those around you. Always follow someone else’s lead.
  10. Maintain status quo. Dismiss those which threaten it.

    I’m detecting a hint of sarcasm… Kind of a kick in the gut for me on a couple of those points.
