[quote=Anonymous]Maybe you should move to an environment where you will be surrounded by mostly the average.  You can be awesome without going to Yale.  I work for a law partner who went to a law school I'd never even heard of, but the guy is a rainmaker who is very happily married, has lots of friends, and is very well off.  Total success.  No client has ever asked how many times he took the bar to pass it.

Also, consider that the world NEEDS average people.  One of my cousins edits accounting books.  Dull, right?  But he also makes his own beer, writes and directs plays and travels with his wife a lot.  My other cousin teaches 1st grade and has three kids. Her husband does IT work.  You NEED there to be a manager at Home Depot.  You NEED someone to own the clothing shop you go to.  You NEED the nurses in the hospitals.  Everyone can't be the best.  Just because your kids aren't academically amazing doesn't mean they're not amazing.  There are other awesome things to be.  Look at all the posts from people swearing their kids are super smart yet don't have friends, or suffer from anxiety. [/quote]
