I get piss at myself when I get piss on people that are better than me.

Its a natural reaction to feel jealousy and to say the following-

"Ah I could have won if only that person hadn't been here,"

When you meet someone that is well You know better than you.

However it's not okay to hate them just because they're better than me. I mean those who performed better than me in whatever case probably put in more effort and hours than me therefore I have no fucking excuse to be a whining bitch.

I love anime and I want to draw anime but I suck at drawing. Because of that petty reason I feel jealousy toward anyone who draws well. And I hate that part of myself so much that whenever I have that bitch-ass attitude I want to shot my goddam face off. That person probably spend hours perfecting that art while I did doodles for what? a minute?

It's like this:

Looks toward a guy who is drawing a beautiful realistic looking drawing.

"What an asshole doesn't he know how much I love anime and my inability to draw is such a huge burden? Doesn't he know that by doing what he loves he is actually making me hate myself and want to kill him?"

^^ At those moment I wish this would happen:

Me being a whining bitch about drawing

"You fuctard do you realize how much that person took to perfect that skill?" My subconscious speaks

"Yeah but I try and I shitty crap appears!" I whine

"Fuctard you fucking doodle for a minute and you call that practising? I bet that person sucked but kept on going until he became a master" My subconscious say this time angry

"Well um I'm still jealous! " I responded becoming an A-class whining bitch.

".....well fuck you" my consciousness says as it materializes in the form of a Dinosaur and literally eats me. 

^^ that's how it should go

Anyway this bring me to the next topic, the 10,000 rule. Now what matters more inborn talent or hard work?

Well according to research talent is worthless, to be good at something you need to practise and to be a master you need at least ten thousand hours of working your ass of. Like literally there is no one that is a master at something and hasn't been practicing for ten thousand hours.

"But Alipi you're so stupid what about child prodigies?"

Well child prodigies are definitely smart however they only repeat or imitate. They don't create. Mozart who was the most famous child prodigy didn't began to write his own genuine music until he was twenty one. Meaning that he had to practise ten thousand hours until he was good enough to create music worthy of a master.

So yeah I don't have any excuse to be a whining ass Bitch because I don't deserve to complain since I didn't put in the effort. I can't pull the "well he was born smarter or talenter" card because talent doesn't play as a significant role in success as does hard work.

So if you want to become a master at something, ten thousand hours is the way to go. It doesn't matter if you suck or not, its all about hard work.

Alipi out

Stay cool my friends
