As the names puts it aptly, our
dear average Joe is…..average. He is the one who epitomizes the all sacred “law
of averages”. Well most of us are like him..he is one of those guys whose
decent but not great…Whats good though is that thankfully Joe’s dreams and
desires are also average…a decent house, loving family and a decent salary…and
he would be on his way…..but at times circumstances/coincidences/serendipity
force him to dream big…and dream big he does (yoda style)…more often than not
he ends up on the loosing side…after all he is all but average….the guy who
never tops, whose never “the man”, not the one who dazzles everyone once he enters
the party….not the one who gets the look back from someone that he thinks is
special….at times he is happy enough that at least she knows his name…all these
looses do leave him a bit sad….but then he just pats himself thinking…”maybe thats
all I deserve with what I have….because maybe sometimes being good is not good
enough”………
But wait a minute…life for our
average joe hasn’t been all that bad….he seems to have moved up inlyf…rat race
it maybe but he seems to have come a long way from where he had started…well
tht confuses me a bit …how did he move up so much…after all wasn’t he just
average…whr does an average guy like him standout…shouldn’t he be just lost in
the crowd….
Well thr is one thing though
which fuels the fire…which does make our average joe sometimes not so average….joe
can sure put up a fight….average he might be everywhere but the dood does seem
to have a strange tendency of getting up after taking all the hits…underdog he
might be but he is tht man in the ring (as our belived Mr. Al Pacino would put
it) “whose still willing to fight and die for that inch”…hes the guy who might
not win but is definitely not ready to loose…
May be tht is the thing which
makes our average joe not so average…that unwavering fire in the belly which
just doesn’t know how to give up…so dear life….and dear studs…beware we r not
going down ever without a fight…without making a flash……because it is tht knck
of standing up again every tym after falling down which makes all of average
joes like us not so average…
he might loose 9 out of 10 fights but that in
that 10th fight he
will knock the champ down, and move up
one step at a tym, defying the norms, defying expectations, defying the averages…..
and maybe one day tht special
someone might alo notice him…..
till tht day we fight till we
fall!!
