Jokes on you. My best is me barely trying.
And your worst is someone’s else best 🙂
(until you are me)
it got me through college and that’s all that matters
Your barely trying is better than someone else’s best. Let that sink in
meh
This is as true for me, as it is for the other guy. No one is good at everything and the people who appear to be are usually just hiding their weaknesses exceedingly well.
Alr *opens door to reveal a comidicly placed sink as the camera cuts right after*
Good, there had better be people better than me at math and stuff 🤷🏼♀️
My worst is somebody trying to
I’m in this meme, and I like it
Meh couldn’t care less
Who tf cares? Einstein said “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid” stop worry about wtf some one else can do and ENJOY YOUR life.
You know, what really hits hard is when someone tells you that your bare minimum, or whatever you ***can*** do is the best they’ve seen.
Hearing my gf tell me that almost brought me to tears the first time she told me that. Had to take a moment in my car to actually work through that after I dropped her off at home.
Everyone sucked at something before they got good at it. Your negativity can go fuck itself.
…GOD
What the hell does the sink want this time?

Awe were you my teammate in ECE 2010?
In my defense I went Mechanical for a reason.
And Thank you for the A on that project.
That’s essentially everything I do
I was quite good at playing tabletennis after being in a sports club for years and several people who all play only rarely beat me and it wasn’t even close.
Writing is one the things I can do best and I know of at least three people in my class who can do it remarkably better than me.
I always thought I was good at locating countries on a map after studying that for hours and then there was this random guy who said that he hadn’t seen a world map in a long time and immediately did better and faster than I ever could.
Good, gives me something to strive for. Main character syndrome is a toxic mindset
Fuckin try hards.
Holy crap, that’s fucking dumb.
Let that sink in.
I like the “there’s an Asian child better than you on anything you ever do” version of this
Well, I don’t give a flying fuck about it.
The ultimate possible champion in any sport is someone busy doing something else.
Examples
In the first Olympics a British couple in a holiday passing by won the Gold medal in tennis.
While Chinese families trained their kids to be Olympics artistic gymnastics participants since they were four years old , most champions began their training in late adolescence.
Possibilities
If New Zealand Rugby national team played American football they will beat the US best team at any point of history.
If Pakistan and India cricket national teams played baseball no one will stop them.
If the inventors of Pollo (northern Pakistan free pollo no protective gear and 10000 feet above sea level) played professional pollo they will defeat any team.
But to be fair the Americans are the only ones who offer a scholarship to talented athletes in many sports, and have far less rioting among crowds that any nations.
I try as much as I feel the job is worth.
Who the hell said life was fair?
Nah, maybe for some of y’all. Couldn’t be me tho 🤷🏿
People are trying?
Think of it positively.
1. Somebody else’s best is *you* barely trying
2. There is always somebody worse than you
3. Practice doesn’t always make perfect, but it makes progress
This usually has to do with the shared experience of entire communities and societies. Unfortunately most aspects of our society do not value experience anymore, so we end up dismissing what it takes to get better at doing things. People now casually remark that nobody knows what they’re doing or has it figured out, but that is not the case. There used to be more of a tradesperson tradition of mentoring and training in young people to do things in all aspects of life, from work to personal. It was well understood that you could learn and grow into the life’s work of whatever one applied oneself, and there was a culture that expected and helped people to do things the right way even if it wasn’t strictly the seemingly most perfectly talented person in all existence. The guy who coined the term ‘meritocracy’ actually lamented the idea that everyone would get divided based on rankings. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2001/jun/29/comment
No, I don’t think I will
There’s always a 5 year old Chinese kid better than you at whatever it is you’re doing
No
