For some people this may sound strange, or even sad - but not to me. For me it&rsquo;s simple: I hate being the worst at something, and I can&rsquo;t stand the idea of being the best at something either. While almost everyone resonates with the first part, the second part raises a few eyebrows.</p> <p>But why? Why would anybody want to be stuck in the middle? The middle is usually associated with being overlooked, ignored, and unimportant - and for me, that&rsquo;s exactly the point. Because when I&rsquo;m not great at anything, I am free. It gives me an insatiable hunger to chase the impossible, to always find a place where I&rsquo;m not yet the expert.</p>
