To be exceptional requires a profound amount of continued great effort. It is not odds, merely how much one truly desires to overcome oneself.

You're mischaracterizing what I said, and also missing my point, I think. There's a long-playing American radio show that talks about a fictitious town where "all the children are above average". This is an impossibility. Likewise, it is an impossibility for every person, or even most people, or even many people, to be exceptional. By definition, it cannot be so.
If you strive to be "exceptional", by definition, you are striving to be better than others. You are setting your standards relative to other people. Where's the focus then?
