If you just do just good enough in everything and hardly excel? Can you simply JUST GET BY?
Probably, although you might end up being the first to be let go in a recession or downsizing. And your relationships will suffer, and your grown kids might avoid you.
You'll have to live a simpler life. Your pay scale is going to be on the lower end. You're going to have to meet your basic needs, food, shelter, utilities, clothing, transportation, etc. Your forms of entertainment are going to have to be simpler too. Learn to live within your means, keep within your budget.
You are not required to become a CEO of a major corporation, a big success story. You can just put in your 40 hours, collect your paycheck, go home, tend to your responsibilities and live your life as you see fit.
Unless, of course, you plan on living off the generosity of family and friends through out your adult life. If this is the case, then you're going to be moving around a lot, because you will wear out your welcome if you don't do your part.
Many successful people do just enough to get by. They are just better at playing the game and interpersonal skills than others.
Although it depends on what you mean by ‘successful’, I disagree. I think being passionate about work (or life in general), commitment and effort are needed to be ‘successful’ in most things (not just professionally). ‘Playing the game’ can only take you so far.
I think most people do the bare minimum and get by just fine. The problems occur for those doing less than the bare minimum. The key here is being able to recognize what the bare minimum is.
And, in many cases, successful people aren't doing anything exceptional. They're just doing more than the bare minimum.
I agree with the above, I think most people are fairly mediocre so of course they’re doing the bare minimum. Maybe not in every area but in life in general, yes. If you don’t have any big goals or you think just working an average job is a “big goal,” you’re already doing the bare minimum whether you know it or not. You can get by just fine and maybe even be happy, with basic things that entertain you or make you smile, but you’ll never know great accomplishment or success because you never even tried. That’s what I find amazing looking around, how many people really don’t even try to improve themselves at all.
