Common, yes, but “most” is a great exaggeration in my experience.

I am surrounded by people who have or are achieving above a standard deviation from the mean (completely qualitative). They are just regular people who happen to thrive on their projects (work or personal).

I don’t know why or how our experiences can be so different.
