Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Average is very easy to define.
The things I'm bad at: average is exactly the same as what I am/do.
The things I'm good at: average is 1/10th of what I am/can do.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Always assume you are below average, and it makes you work harder. Good way t osee things for motivation.

EDIT: I think you would be better off - and equally motivated - by thinking that you are better than everyone at everything and steadfastly refusing to be proven wrong.

I think the best way to phrase that would be "I can BE better than anyone, if I work hard enough".prfsnl_gmr wrote: EDIT: I think you would be better off - and equally motivated - by thinking that you are better than everyone at everything and steadfastly refusing to be proven wrong.
I've never seen anyone in life succeed by thinking "ok, currently I'm not that good, but with enough hardwork, maaaaybe I can be better than some people"

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
I don't want to burst your bubble kid, but most people, even nice people, prefer hanging out with "kind of douchebags" over "moping losers" (talking from personal experience, unfortunately). As long as you don't overdo it of course.Forlorn Drifter wrote: Yeah, that's great advice, be a douchebag.

Don't knock it 'til you try it. I think you will find it makes you more successful at just about everything and - as long as you don't over do it - not a douchebag.Forlorn Drifter wrote:Yeah, that's great advice, be a douchebag.prfsnl_gmr wrote:EDIT: I think you would be better off - and equally motivated - by thinking that you are better than everyone at everything and steadfastly refusing to be proven wrong.

If it wasn't for the fact it was over the internet, I probably wouldn't be able to stand Luke. Everybody I know who thinks very much of themselves I can't stand. Most of them are horrible people, and treat others pretty badly. For example, the majority of people I know who other people tend to like.
