Because in the American society mediocrity has been rewarded for a long long time. Sorry to be harsh to the kiddies but everyone gets a ribbon for participation? or even as old as the 9th grade level there are C and D sports teams so everyone can play? Unfortunetly this progress as we get older and we see more and more rewards for mediocrity.

Most people don't even realize they are neck deep in mediocrity! Therefore there is no reason to do anything.

I guess some are just too lazy or unmotivated to do more than they have to. They'd rather do just enough to get by.

Fear! Fear can really paralyze a person. Or...they don't realize that they are in a rut.
