what a wasted life i'm living!! im a genius damn it. I got nothing to pour my genius into. do you know how good I am? I could be a billionaire. everyone who meets me loves me. I'm gonna go my whole life having nothing to pour my skills into. thats the ultimate torture. anyone been where I've been?

I used to. Then I found something to pour my time into.
Now I think anyone who says they're smart but don't have anything to show for it aren't really that smart. The whole 'smart but lazy' thing is a cancer.

YES. I've just realized my problem lately: I am the "Jack of all trades, master of none".
I'm intelligent and educated, I speak two more languages besides my first language and I'm an INTJ based on multiple personality tests if that says anything to you.
But I was struggling in all fields of my life and now I've realized that what I need is specialization. I'm gonna sit down tonight and write down all of my interests and pick 1 (Ok, max. 5!) and I will be a master of them. I know that it's gonna be hard to choose (since I think there will be more than 50 categories on my paper) but I can't live like that anymore.

Agree and it was killing me in the last 10 years.
What's your field?
>>1605309
Oh 21and living with parents how cute
>>1605375
You're jack of shit nigger. Seriously how old are people on biz?
>>1605375
Specialization is for insects. I think you should know how to do a multitude of things well. But hat's just my opinion. Everyone has their own choices to make.
I'm INTJ too last time I did the test, and work in marketing.
It's interesting you mention the 'write down all your interesting and pick 5' thing. Have you heard of Warren Buffets method to find your goals[1]? Surely you've heard of Warren Buffet's name. He's a famous business magnate, worth over 60 billion. A lot of his self-help material is full of gold nuggets. You're on the right track.
He says to write down 25 of your career goals.
Then circle the top 5.
Everything you didn't circle just became your Avoid-At-All-Cost list.
No matter what, these things get no attention from you until you’ve succeeded with your top 5.

I do have one. And it makes me hate whiners
>>1605398
It's interesting, I also work with marketing right now, but constantly thinking about making my own product/content.
Yeah, I'm not from the US but I know Warren Buffet, never read his books but saw a few clever quotes by him. I will check out that method, thank you!

Cool good luck. I've been in marketing for most of my life, generating leads for other people. Just recently started thinking about launching my product too. Send me an email if you're interested in chatting privately [email protected]

What a fucking waste.
Yea I used to think like this Op.
Then I started doing actual work.
Turns out it is harder than I thought.
Discipline is at least as important as intelligence.
