RE: #12.3 - 5 reasons why you failed even when you believed you are special (Article)
Well written (is it your theory or based on some existing psychological theory? Not much into psychology) but I don't really like the way special people (because yes, there are plenty of those out there) are presented here.
I completely disagree with number 1: Being over-confident and knowing you are special to some extent are -for me- 2 different things.
Because there are people out there that are indeed more special than others and non-special over-confident ones who are nobodies really, the same way there are special people who never stop trying...
Also, referring to number 2+3 now, I think if a person is truly special, then they support other special people. But that's what I've seen - they might be more who don't and they keep everything for themselves, who knows.
I agree with number 4, partially, meaning that...just because the rabbit was an a**hole, it doesn't mean that all qualified, educated, talented, or whatever you call 'special' people are like that. There are people of value that they know how to also recognize value.
And to answer the last question, no - the reason/s of my failure/s so far wasn't that. It was a blend of different reasons and bad timing, I guess. But in Greek we say... 'the wheel will turn' -which basically means that if not now, later, everything is going to be ok :)
Hey meanmommy !! Its my theory, didn't read it anywhere else. Based on my experience only.
I believe everyone is special and nobody is more special then others. It's just that some people put efforts to prove their specialty and some don't even put efforts to find their specialty.
Yes there are both kind of special people, who thinks others are special too, and those who don't think so. But sooner or later, universe makes them realize their mistakes and the truth.
Again, when I was talking about the rabbit, I was talking about those people only who think the are special and that is why do not put any efforts. Thats the whole purpose of writing the post.
Reasons for failure can be many undoubtedly. This is just one of the many reasons as I tried to portray in the post.
And sorry for replying so so so late. I am still trying my best to manage everything.
Thanks for voting and commenting :)
I guess I get your point, but I still believe that not all people are special... ;)
No worries!
