I mean it isn’t bad advice, but did they hire a twenty year old to put that kind of shit up?

Every kid is told they are special, and they grow up thinking they are going to conquer the world. Or at least be anything they want to be. The reality is the average person is average, and is going to settle for an average life.

It is kind of comical to assert that everyone is special. Yeah, you are unique, just like everyone else. Now shut up and get back in line.

Where does it say that everyone is special in that quote, or imply it? Seems to just be about not compromising to the point of living a life you never wanted, which is good advice if you're in a situation where you can actually do that.
