Did you know that half of all people are below average?

I don't know if I'm a bottom because it turns me on, or if I'm a bottom because I'm lazy.

If you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down on you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.
