Do I have to wait 28 more years to be "average" enough to die?

I can't believe how many people are caught up on averages these days.  I personally believe in being unique with a purpose!  

For example, why is it when Realtors do a CMA on a house they take the time to differentiate the home they hope to write on offer on or list, to see what sets it appart to determine value, yet they don't typically take the time to do an analysis on themselfs to see where they are different and where they add value?  I make sure that my marketing presentation sets me apart from the other 3,200 Realtors in Boise, Idaho.  I make sure my research is backed by facts, not just my opinion.  I make sure my clients in Boise know that I know about Boise real estate!

Do you do this in your market?  You should, because, no offense, but you aren't average! The "average" person in the US is either 49 percent male or 51 percent female. Odds are, you are different in that one category alone compared to half the American population and we have lots of traits to consider still!  (people that have had sex changes don't count since they cheated)

The median age of in the US according to the 2000 Census was 35.3; so I am already over the hill at 47.

The average mortality rate of an American male is 75 years old so according to statistics, so do I have to wait 28 more years to be "average" enough to die?

• The typical Realtor has only been in business for 8 years and yet I a have been for 18. 
• Less than half the Realtors have had websites for at least five years and yet I have had mine for well over 10 years. 
• Only 77 percent of the Realtors claim real estate is their only occupation. 
• A typical residential Realtor completed 8 tranactions in 2007 and I closed nearly 30.
  
• Fewer than 4% of the Realtors have the CRS Designation; yet I have had mine over a decade.
• Only 14 percent of the Realtors own three or more properties, so I am glad to be in the minority!

A few years ago, someone asked me "what is normal?"  My reply . . . "The average of the extremes, of course!"  Therefore, since I have been known to go to extremes, I guess I am really just pretty normal, albeit far from Average!
