Afraid to be Mediocre

I was read a poem and it said something along the lines of not being afraid to be a failure but a be afraid of being mediocre. This made me realize that that is exactly what I am afraid of. Because I want to be great, a leader, one who influences others. Every time I think of living a normal life with a stupid normal job- like a cashier, factory worker, etc- I get that little nauseous feeling in my chest. I want to be known, not forgotten that easily. Yes, I want to be a psychiatrist and that's a pretty normal job, but when I do become a psychiatrist I'd write books to help others learn about psychology and give speeches for Tedx (Google it). So yeah, I definitely don't want to be mediocre and pretty much fear it. Is that good, bad or neither.
