Zitat des Tages über Durchschnittlich / Average:
There is no such thing as an average person. They really are guidelines for people to grapple with the unknown, and we can always surprise expectations.
I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent.
I've always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.
I think it helps a lot when they tell people that Teri Hatcher likes you. If you're Teri Hatcher's boyfriend, suddenly you're hunky I guess. I've spent 40 years being average and now I'm Teri hatcher's boyfriend and here we are. I've been really fortunate.

There is no method by which an average citizen can effectively fight the White House in the media.
There is a huge difference between journalism and advertising. Journalism aspires to truth. Advertising is regulated for truth. I'll put the accuracy of the average ad in this country up against the average news story any time.

Being frugal, conscious of making money, is not a negative thing. That sensibility of creating value and finding value and reinvesting in those customers is what separates great restaurants from the average ones.
I think it's a little irresponsible for women who choose surgery to then say they can portray the average woman on the street, because if the average woman can't afford those treatments, then she's going to say, 'I'm 53 and I don't look like that,' and start thinking she's ugly or inadequate.
We have to judge politicians by their cumulative score. In one innings they make a great catch, in another they drop the ball. In one they score a home run, in another they strike out. But it is their cumulative batting average that we are interested in.
The average housewife goes to the restaurant to relax and enjoy the food. But when Eva walks in, she becomes the center of attention.

You could argue that if the average golfer plays a golf course with 430-yard par 4s and they always miss the green, that's good practice. It's definitely great practice to play a course that's too long for you.

There came this point where I sat down with all my notebooks and I had to start to write, when I thought: this whole notion of writing for the person who understands nothing, the average reader...

I've learned that getting what you want gives you a pretty high batting average, and leaves you plenty to struggle for.
So many people comment that I'm much more mature than average. In this business, you can get taken advantage of if you're not aware and you're not tough.

I'm intimidated by the fear of being average.
The average GOP presidential vote in these last five elections was 44.5 percent. In the last three, it was 48.1 percent. Give Romney an extra point for voter disillusionment with Obama, and a half-point for being better financed than his predecessors. It still strikes me as a path to narrow defeat.
Our growing, robust economy is able to provide the average American citizen access to the best social program there is - a steady job.
