Mediocrity?

About an year ago, a good friend of mine,a brilliant young man from Bengal was leaving our company, pursuing his bigger career ambitions. He was asked to comment on his 6 years of experience in Software as a Service (SaaS) industry. He gave his answer in a single word - 'Mediocre'. More than a friend, he was a mentor for me and at that point of time, as a fresher I had the same opinion about this industry. But one year since, I find this popular opinion wrong.

Nothing is Mediocre, let it be any profession, software engineer or a street sweeper. Being mediocre is a matter of perspective, a matter of personal choice.
