[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's possible to know if someone will be average by elementary school. They are just little kids. I also think average people often lead the most rewarding lives, because when you are not obsessed with living up to great potential, it's a bit easier to prioritize what makes you happy. What if one of your kids had extraordinary talent but would be happiest leading a more mundane life with a 9-5 and a family? They'd always be stuck in between. Am average person, is never going to sit around feeling bad they didn't make the Olympics or get into Harvard, because no one expected them to. Imagine being a pro tennis player who never cracks the top 50 (but almost does) or the elite scientist who spends years in research only to be beaten to key findings by a peer and have their work disregarded. Their hopes are so high.[/quote]
