Remember how your parents have always said, that you can be anything you want? That you need to find something you enjoy doing and make money out of it?
Well they were just trying to make you feel better about yourself, it was all bullshit.
For instance, I... Well, I like singing. I love singing, even though I've no voice at all, it's something about singing that relaxes me and calms all my nerves down. I can be content even though I'm sad, and be ecstatic when I'm happy.
I've tried recording myself singing, but the way my voice sounds inside my head, is way different than what it sounds in recording, and I realize that I deeply and truly suck. I've got no control, and there's absolutely nothing special about my voice. Furthermore every time I try singing around someone else, I can sense how they get slowly irritated and I decrease the volume down to a small mumble, like how a lady that sells vegetables in the market and mumbles a song while she puts your cabbage in a bag.
So, like, ok, I fail at life, now what?
"Well, darling, you'll have to find something you're actually good at" says the voice inside my head. I'll let you guess what I'm good at... Think about school, think about the subject you hated the most...
Yep, math.
I'm a good mathematician... and can write good algorithms for programming, but I am not so thrilled about it. Furthermore I don't have that curiosity about technology that every other geek has, I don't have the lust for it!
So what would you do? What are you doing?
a) Something you're good at
b) Something you like doing
