I guess out of billliiiooons of people you can only have so many champs (since there are only so many activities to become champ of).

But you always imagine yourself as being the best SOMETHING one day.

I know the Coli is the meeting place of all the richest, most dapper players in all the wwweb but:

Anyone else resigned to the fact of just being a regular moe. A spectator. An average person?

With certain things, yes. There's always gonna be someone better, just focus on you. Most people never let themselves get good at anything because their ego can't handle being bad/mediocre at it in the beginning. I know people who are paralyzed by that.

Dumb people tend to only be able to excel at one thing from my observations.

Even being halfway decent at everything tends to put you ahead of the average person too. I'm not especially skilled at anything in general, but I'm always the person that gets called when anybody needs something figured out or built.

It sounds like your a champ at being a competent person, that's something to be proud of. Especially these days:yeshrug:

I do feel as if I could do pretty well at almost anything.

I've advanced at jobs cause of my willingness to hop in and get it done, even if I didn't quite know where to begin

how much time and effort are you putting into things that you are into? People who are great st things work super hard for it.

@Ghost Utmost what exactly is it that you want to do?

I would say that I am an expert MC (we're talking Classic Hip Hop not Contemporary) but nothing ever popped.

Popular music has passed me by such that I have no desire to rap to the new style of tracks. I only feel at home on 90s East Coast beats.

Niqqas have advised me to listen to new stuff and update my style.

Disgusting to those of us who remember when biting was a sin. I'd rather just quit trying to pop than become 99 Savage.

I have dabbled in other artistic stuff like making beats and writing screenplays - which I haven't put n the 10k hours admittedly - but it's middling at best.

I think if you aren't putting enough effort into it you can't ever expect to be but so good at anything.
