Average people live unfulfilling lives doing work they dislike and following the direction of others. They have average accomplishments, emotions, and lifestyles. Average people spend too much time watching TV, seeking instant gratification through activities like drinking and smoking, and not planning for the future or tracking how they spend their time. They are lazy, sleep in late on weekends, wait for inspiration instead of taking action on their ideas, make assumptions instead of facts, and believe they cannot improve due to a fixed mindset.
