Can you beat the averages?

Question:
You're a library. You do things the way everyone else does them? What happens? Can you beat the averages?

This happnes, and I quote Paul Graham again,

Beating the Averages: "The average big company grows at about ten percent a year. So if you're running a big company and you do everything the way the average big company does it, you can expect to do as well as the average big company-- that is, to grow about ten percent a year."
