Question: Would You Rather Be Athletically Gifted Or Musically/Artistically Gifted?

[PhonZhi]

I think about this all the time, mainly because music and sports have been the biggest loves of my life for as long as I can remember and I think musicians are some of the most powerful and influential people on the planet. Pro athletes are too but they don't have the same influence over people as musicians imo. Music period is one of the most powerful forces in the universe.

Nobody really cares about athletes outside of their respective seasons. We don't think about LeBron when the season is over, just like we're not thinking about Cam Newton right now. Matter fact, a lot of these athletes are flat out BORING outside of when their on the field.

But music is different. It has the ability to affect a persons mood, feelings, thoughts and ultimately ACTIONS. This is why I say that musicians who are lucky enough to have their music heard by the masses, are some of the most powerful and influential individuals on the planet.

I ultimately think musicians are "cooler" too. Put a group of athletes, a group of musicians and ladies all in the same room and I think the musicians are walking away with most of the ladies. Being able to sing is a panty dropper in itself. I wish I could sing



I would MUCH rather have the mind and singing voice of Stevie Wonder or Donnie Hathaway than the athletic abilities and physical gifts of LeBron James

So what gift you rolling wit?

Artistic gifts can last a lifetime but athletic gifts have a short shelf life.

The Athletic gifts will more than likely guarantee you wealth. It would put you in the top 1% in the world or some shyt. The artistic gift cannot guarantee you the same thing as far as wealth. Success in the music industry especially requires alot of luck & circumstances on top of your talent.

You're right, I didn't even figure this into the equation

Athletically gifted.

I don't care to create art pieces or music.

Athletic skill can come in handy daily.

I ran track for years.

One of the things about myself that I take comfort in is knowing that even now, out of shape and unconditioned, I can still out-sprint most people. And if I ever needed to run for my life I could.


I can jump higher than most women, I'm flexible, coordinated, and don't really find physical activity difficult.




When I watch people struggle to do simple things like hop fences, lowkey, inside I .

Yep, just being 6'6 by itself puts you in that 1%. Add the skill and athleticism with it

Artistic gifts easily

If you network and invest in the spoils of your athletic gifts, they can also last you a lifetime.
