The vast majority of people in the world belong to the ranks of mediocrity, but there are two types of mediocre people. One is utterly like mud that can't be propped up against a wall; such people hope that everything about them can get better. Yet when they actually face opportunities and challenges, they completely lack the courage to respond, finding it too hard, too exhausting. After a brief lament about life, they continue to muddle through their days.
The other type constantly reflects and does whatever possible to change their circumstances. They are willing to endure hardship and use their brains. It's just that, hampered by their mediocre abilities, they often expend great effort but fail to achieve anything impressive.
For the first type of person, not even the gods can save them; they need to be reborn. The second type, however, is just missing a mentor to guide them.
