REFERENCES:

average people … have nervous reactions; all of them are, in varying degrees, tense, self-conscious, unsure of themselves. And their tenseness, self-consciousness and lack of assurance may at any time give rise to any kind of nervous symptoms. 
from Selections from Dr. Low's Works, DR. LOW'S COLUMN: NERVOUS PATIENTS AND NERVOUS PERSONS, page 10

Do your best, your average best, not to be careless, but only your average best. I will add, your average should be good average. You should live a life as the desirable people in the community appear to live their lives. Whether they do it, I can’t tell you.

from Manage Your Fears, Manage Your Anger, Self-blame, Exceptionality and Averageness, page 74
