so far in everything i do/have done, i am average. im average in sports, average at filming, average at school, average at cooking, below average in customer service, below average at posting topics, a little above average at video games. but i have a feeling im average at everything because of video games. it makes me depressed because for example at my age taylor lautner was acting and in martial arts, and he is very talented at the bo staff. he didnt waste his time like i did playing video games (i started playing when i was 5 years old). i have no skills at all. is the saying everyone is good at something true? ive heard that from an old commercial that played since i was a kid (around 15 years ago), and i recently seen it a couple of weeks ago. i think it might be music because i got B's in my violin class and i NEVER practiced at all. what do you think? im going to spend $1000 on a guitar soon and if im average im going to be severely depressed.

why would you spend 1000 on a guitar if you dont know if you're going to enjoy it?? I do think everyone is good at something, the trick is finding out what that something is.

well i had a bass guitar before, and i do like playing songs when i learn the tabs, but i had no time at all to actually take lessons. now i have more time, so i should be able to master it this time. oh and what im gonna buy this time isnt really a guitar, but it kinda is and it costs $1200. i cant tell anyone what it is, its a secret!

im in school right now to be a game designer, but first im upgrading my math. i have a TON of good game ideas, i wish i could just get hired at a game studio right now to be a lead designer. game design is my final path but its a slow paced one so im trying to find something else to take off for me while im on my way

Maybe you have a talent witch isn't really recognized as much in our society. You say you have alot of game ideas. So maybe your creative. I personally feel sort of the same way. I think I'm very creative but don't really have alot talents like alot of people do.

i can think of one :oops:


Honestly, I don't think that the saying is true. There are some people out there that will be average at everything. You have to keep in mind that someone who excels in an area might also be absolutely horrible in another. That also doesn't mean that you won't find something that you enjoy doing, whether you are good at it or not.

Also don't spend 1000$ on a guitar without first knowing if you even like to play the thing.

Maybe you should concern yourself with improving what you can already do, being a better person, and learning as much as you can rather than banking on some hidden genius.

is the saying everyone is good at something true? ive heard that from an old commercial that played since i was a kid (around 15 years ago), and i recently seen it a couple of weeks ago. i think it might be music because i got B's in my violin class and i NEVER practiced at all. what do you think? im going to spend $1000 on a guitar soon and if im average im going to be severely depressed.

hadoken

I think that the majority of people CAN be good at something. Whether or not they WILL be good at it is another matter.

Your comment about the music is sort of along those lines. You say that you're getting B's even though you NEVER practice. And that brings up a question: do you want to be good at something, or do you want to be good at something without putting any effort into it? You're about to spend $1000 on a guitar. But really...if you weren't practicing before, what makes you think you're going to practice this time?

Yeah, everyone is good at something. You are good in not having a thing that you suck at, as you say you are average or a bit below average in most things.

I don't know, but I'm not sure I would drop $1000 just in hopes that I'd stumble across one.

This. Also, rather than finding what ur talent is, try to find your passion. The day you do, you will be fine no matter what.

Being average at everything shows that you're at least consistent; it's much better than being consistently bad. Your consistency can be considered a talent, I think.

Reading this post made me think of something - Being average also means you have no weaknesses at all :o Anyways , try experiencing various things in life - you might just come across something you may like in an unexpected corner. For one , I'm not the outdoor type nor am I the "hands on" kind of person so I guess I'd go for something like... business and typing... stuff like that. Still , there's no point in worrying about being average - just take it slowly and find what you like - then work on what you have in your field of passion. If not - being an honest and decent individual in life is good enough - you don't need to be exceptional - you just need to be who you are.

Let's face it bro. You're not going to be the next Hendrix. So many people play guitars now yet none of them is special. I understand you're still in school and that's a good thing. I'd like to be a game designer too since I'm good at programming and I have awesome ideas (and actually know from experience what's cool and what not). But I'm in my final year of high school so there's still enough time to worry about my profession. Anyway, you might be good at something you don't expect. Maybe you're a great romantic. Maybe you're a great friend. Maybe you're funny. Don't be depressed. Be yourself (everyone says this and it really works - if you're a cool guy).

The sad truth of the world is that you are not special. Nobody is. There's always someone who can do anything better than you and you are always going to be average at everything.

Don't worry about such matters - be happy with your lot. If you're buying some wires just enjoy it - don't reach for the stars if you haven't even picked one up (and don't bother spending a grand either!).

I can't agree with that.

People don't just wake up one morning and discover that they're good at something. In order to get good at something, you generally have to work your ass off.

Mine happens to be a range of things like, Psychology, profiling, science, computers etc. Stuff like making theories is what I enjoy too. They are all pretty complex but it's what I enjoy.
