>tfw 25 and you never learned to be great at anything

You're only 25. Why are you wasting your time?

Learn how to be great at something.

>>17410913
Can't change the past, but you can control your future

Im 31 and never learned to be great at anything. But I have found if you apply your best effort at something you will get results. I was a sorry ass business student and I went into engineering school and studied my ass off and made the deans list then I tried to shortcut calculus by taking it in the summer and got burned. There are no shortcuts and no half assing things when you want to be great at something only your full attention and effort will work.

Don't bump when you have answers!! If you want to be great at something, actually devote some time to doing it.

I'd settle to be mediocre or even passable at anything. In a few weeks I'm going to be 27 and still working in a dead end job, still struggling to participate in regular society.

What are you doing to be mediocre or passable at anything?

It's not just going to happen.

>>17410913

start now and you might be great by 30

What's the job?

Hey thanks just what I want to get great at something by the time I'm an old man appreciate the advice

>>17410913
All you need is 30 mins of practice a day to get good at something. Beyond that, your mental fatigue limits your learning ability.
From there, it's roughly 10,000 hrs to master something.
Pick something you think you'd like.
Don't rush, enjoy learning at a leisurely pace.

I've nearly literally fapped away my teenage years and a good part of my 20's but made up for it with roughly 5 years of working various jobs and getting experience. I'm 30, and a private school teacher now.
You just need to get started, anon.

>30 is an old man

top kek. also better than never being great at anything, age is arbitrary for success.

also

>doesnt bother getting great at anything
>is mad that people dont have magic advice to fix it for him

jesus grow up

side note: being really great at something does not mean you will be/are successful.

most people are not the best at anything, just because your not an Olympic class runner doesn't mean you shouldn't run.

There's a variety of reasons to do things, just find something you like and it matters way less whether your the best.

It is sort of. Lot of creative fields consider it too old and do not acknowledge or employ starters that old.

The gatekeepers of creative fields don't acknowledge anyone that doesn't suck their dick.
