[QUOTE="GT777733, post: 1206619, member: 13957"] "Never underestimate just how clueless the average joe is. Time and time again I get reminded of this and every time I am absolutely astounded." If I was starting life and in particular my 20's all over again and I knew just how true this is, I would have looked at my future with an unbelievable amount of confidence and I would have taken way more perceived risks way earlier than I did. Seriously (and I'm not trying to be a dick...I like people, but this is just the truth) - the amount of people that can hold themselves accountable, have a work ethic, have self awareness, focus on one thing, and improve at that thing - it's like one in every few thousand or even rarer. The bar to succeed at most things in life is way lower than what you think. Once you get over that bar and you look back at everyone, you will kick yourself for ever doubting yourself so much. The blind leading the blind is a real thing. [/QUOTE]
