but as i started to mature and realize everything is fucked, i got back into all of it and more

2019-02-07 17:36:42 UTC  

but now its cool and trendy to be a "weeb" because its funny and dank meme.

2019-02-07 17:36:46 UTC  

Hey @[chase dreams] How i can post in the music hangout?

2019-02-07 17:37:11 UTC  

***Fortnite....more like fortshite***

2019-02-07 17:37:13 UTC  

Lemme check

2019-02-07 17:37:38 UTC  

I was goth cuz I was trying to get the closest thing to cyberpunk I could afford. I went to a majority black school so I literally never fit in as a white goth kid

2019-02-07 17:38:28 UTC  

dont feel like you have to fit in. if you dont know all the anime references other people do, who cares. if you dont follow sports, who cares. just figure out whats right for you and meaningful, then once you figure it out, act. dont give a fuck about other people

2019-02-07 17:39:03 UTC  

White goth kid ? Tfw

2019-02-07 17:39:08 UTC  

Never heard of that term lmao

2019-02-07 17:39:18 UTC  

I hope you're trolling lol

2019-02-07 17:39:41 UTC  

@felldie1496 you can now post in the music room

2019-02-07 17:39:55 UTC  

@[chase dreams] Thank you so much dude.

2019-02-07 17:40:08 UTC  

growing up, my mom (single parent, no father) and teachers all said i had "potential" and i was wasting it. i just stopped giving a shit about a lot of things and started to really reflect on what truly has value and what is shit that everyone else just attributes value to.

2019-02-07 17:40:15 UTC  

@felldie1496 no problem

2019-02-07 17:40:43 UTC  

you have "potential." potential to what, be just like everyone else and do what everyone else does? it's a meaningless thing to say

2019-02-07 17:41:10 UTC  

Potential doesn't mean shit. Skill and talent does.

2019-02-07 17:41:16 UTC  

Funny how every parent and teacher says to every kid "You have potential"...what kind of potential exactly ? 😂

2019-02-07 17:42:04 UTC  

It's meant to encourage you to keep excelling in whatever you did or are doing that they are praising.

2019-02-07 17:42:06 UTC  

Jesus

2019-02-07 17:42:10 UTC  

to go to college, get a shit degree, wear a button down shirt just like everyone else, and make self-depicrating jokes with your wife just like everyone else.

2019-02-07 17:42:27 UTC  

And don't let any other failures tell you that talent is given to you by god or you're born with it or some horseshit.

Talent and skill come with trying and practice.

2019-02-07 17:42:52 UTC  

Wrong

2019-02-07 17:42:52 UTC  

Well isn't the definition of talent being born with that ability ?

2019-02-07 17:42:57 UTC  

Skill is basically hard work.

2019-02-07 17:43:12 UTC  

Some people are obviously gifted or talented compared to others

2019-02-07 17:43:37 UTC  

a lot of "talent and skill" comes indirectly. things like stress control, how you were raised for the first 3-5 years of your life, etc.

2019-02-07 17:43:53 UTC  

also genetics and variation

2019-02-07 17:44:42 UTC  

The first 0-7 years of the kid and genetics pretty much define what you will be good at in the future because ***biology***

2019-02-07 17:44:55 UTC  

I don't think so. Hard work betrays none, but dreams betray many.

2019-02-07 17:45:45 UTC  

Hard work helps you chase your dreams. Lol 😉

2019-02-07 17:45:56 UTC  

talent comes from the understanding of something that comes naturally to you due to your way of thinking
skill is built by learning the rules that make something stand

2019-02-07 17:46:01 UTC  

Working hard alone doesn't assure you that you'll achieve your dreams. Actually there are cases where you don't. But working hard and achievieng something is some consolation at least.

2019-02-07 17:46:04 UTC  

@[chase dreams] that's like saying the name of the movie in the movie

2019-02-07 17:46:15 UTC

CUT MY WIFE INTO PIECES, HEAD HIT WITH TWO BY FOUR

So I have a scene, as I interview [Bill] Russell at his home on this, and after a while I said, "Do you think you are a genius?" And he said, "No, I don't, but for many, many years, I remembered every play of every game that I ever played." So that's in his mind, that trap. That's special. That's not the normal person. That's not the normal player. That's not the normal musician, the normal dancer, the normal painter, the normal actor, the normal director ... that's the normal engineer. It's not. Every play of every game. He said the pressure got too much. I had to give that up. But still. And maybe he's not. I don't know what it's like to find and love to find genius, but it's different. It's different. And that scene, there's no verdict. Some guys think, yeah, there's a genius to it. Some guys don't.

2019-02-07 17:49:11 UTC  

@lotodantes fair point.

2019-02-07 17:49:14 UTC  

^ from an interview with Dan Klores, director of Basketball: A Love Story

2019-02-07 17:49:27 UTC  

on a kinda related note, MASTERY by ROBERT GREENE talks about talent & skill

2019-02-07 17:50:06 UTC  

architects, fighter pilots, Michael Faraday, Albert Einstein, athletes, artists, musicians, physicists, swordsmen from history, etc.
