>when you finally realize that talent is real and hard work

>>38944031
its the sad truth anon

>>38944087
I blame all those adults that told me "you can be anything you want". Such shitty advice and gives a child an unrealistic lookout on life. My dreams have turned into nightmares that haunt my every moment.

>>38944031
its true, its just not enough emphasis is put on what "hard work and determination" actually means. You literally have to work so hard at what you want to do you hate it and even then keep doing it until you're good enough you start loving it again.

>>38944031
Who you know is number one by far

World runs on cronyism

>>38944031
More like talent gives people a jump start. You can become better than them with practice.

most people have no talent at anything. 30 years ago it made no difference, you just went and worked in a factory.

Now, you have to actually be good at something, at least 1 thing,

or be smart , IQ 130+ or higher

or be attractive.

If you are shit at everything and lacking in looks, skill, or intelligence. At best you'll be working a shit minimum wage job

>>38944488
I fucking hate it when brainlets think that high iq is a superpower that allows you to do anything. You can have a high iq and be a talentless sack of shit due to laziness, disability, financial situation or other external factors.

>>38944588

if you have a 130-150+ IQ and you dont have a 6 figure job you're a lazy tard. you could go through school completely on scholarships, and then either do some Nerd job for the government or some weird financial job calculating weird formulas all day.

if you are 130-150+ IQ try my life,

below average intelligence cause my parents were both below average tards, weak as fuck cause my dad was a weak dork so i cant get ANY Trades job, ugly as fucking hell cause my parents were like a 3 and a 4. And, i'm bad at everything.


I'll take the 130-150 IQ so im not doomed to a job pushing a broom where i want to K M S every fucking day

hard work always beats talent

if you have talent, but don't put in any hard work, then you won't get anywhere.

>>38944794
>hard work and talent always beats talent

Fixed that for you

>>38944807
talent only gets you so far.

it's basically just a +25% boost to learning speed

>>38944826
that's bullshit, there are some people who can sing and others who can't, no matter if they get 1000 hours of training

>Have some talent in computers and stuff (software engineering).
>Father expects me to go into medicine.

I've been doing good (some fucking how) in terms of classes but it feels like it's gonna fuck up at any second and all these optimistic assholes telling me how to be is not helping.

you could be shit at everything and have a decent life 30 or 40 years ago. Now, if you suck at everything your life will be hell.

no no, no. I know a guy who is a meth-addicted, 100-point IQ faggot, and even he can speak multiple languages, program computers, and do chemical engineering.

I'm an anatomy fanboy, and I sure am glad I didn't go into medicine.
Where are my phalanges? Beats me, but that's just one part of thousands in the human body. They found a new part in the knee just a couple of years ago. Can you believe that?! You'd think that people would have done enough knee surgeries and academical research to have found all of the parts of a knee, but we still might have missed something.
Computers are great. They beep and do the ones and zero thing. The complete manual for the Commodore 64 is 600-odd pages. You can figure out a computer.

Maybe I should go into medicine and pretend that I know what I'm talking about.

>try my hardest to be good at driving
> practice on racing sims non stop for almost a year
>still not much better than I was before
>friend that played racing sims less than me already got loads better than me

>>38947061
Which racing sims?
What hardware?

A lot of things have to come together in order for someone to become a truly amazing person, and only a few of them are under one's own control.

>tfw you were born with ACTN3 genes and others associated with athletic prowess
>tfw you hover at average weight naturally and never have to diet
>tfw you pack on muscle like you're on roids when you workout and eat protein because your natural T levels are just shy of being so high they require suppression treatments according to your doc
>tfw high test gave you a broad jaw, wide shoulders, big dick, manly beard
>tfw you inherited the no-cavity oral bacteria gene from both parents and have never once in your life experienced tooth decay, and your broad jaw meant you never needed braces or your wisdom teeth taken out
>tfw you were born with a 140+ IQ as tested by a psychiatrist

...

>tfw you were seeing said psychiatrist because high test leads to poor impulse control
>tfw manliness attracted all the wrong people to you and you fucked your life up hanging around with alcoholics, druggies, meth heads, hookers, gangbangers, etc
>tfw you wasted your life from age 15-30 before you leveled out enough to realize everything you missed out on by being a rebellious young buck
>tfw all your old friends are either married with kids, in jail, or dead

>tfw you end up all alone and starting from scratch after squandering every advantage "talent" ever brought you
>tfw every day you have to deal with other alphas who instinctually want to confront you, and you them
>tfw every day you have to resist the urge to be a casual fling for a loose slut who's probably married, but her ovulation makes her seek out "bad boys" instead of their nice guy husbands
>tfw every day you have to resist the urge to drink, smoke, snort, shoot up, gamble, buy a motorcycle, join a boxing gym, do SOMETHING risky to satisfy your need for adrenaline

>tfw every day you have to suppress your desire to feel alive because feeling alive will get you killed

Read up on correlations with success.

Only two things correlate with a person's outcomes in life better than pure luck:
Self-discipline, and intelligence. And self-discipline is a bigger factor than intelligence.

You can be a dumbass but work hard every day and statistically you will make it farther than a smartass with average willpower. The smartass will be better off than the normie, but all things considered, discipline > intellect > chance.

Many smart people are very lazy. Many geniuses over the years, like Einstein, Asimov, Twain, etc, have remarked that squandered genius is extremely common.

you really think that racing sims would improve your driving??
what are you, autistic?
