What's worse...?


Ignorance is bliss right? So true...there's no need for examples it's just obvious. That's why autistic kids are always happy....I mean, they don't really have moods, obviously stress but...still. They're just happy. So is it better to be born that way and never feel down? We're all born with different levels of performance, intelligence, and potential. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do once we reach our full potential/performance/intelligence....someone's full will always be anothers half.

There's also the thing; each of those three (from here-on referred to as 'ppi') are divided...say you have good execution in performance but less independence....and a lot of potential in music but not the arts. You were given a 70% level of talent in relation to others in music but only 40% in arts. Would you pursue the arts (remembering in life you only have a short amount of time) and bring that talent to a 70% your maximum potential there or work on the music and be a 90-100%? The second one is what Olympians do...but the first is more well rounded, because well then you're pretty good at more than one thing, no need to be number one. Then again most of us don't have the potential to be the top in anything so we have to choose something we're decent at and end at a 60-80 range. And how many could make a good-paying career of it? What would you do?

It's unfortunate how jobs in the arts generally don't pay as well as science and engineering [just examples]....but if that really isn't your thing then what can you do? You should supposedly at least be happy at your job right? So then some aren't given much opportunity to make more money than others...but it's something I've taken into account when choosing a major and interest and what to pursue more seriously, given your talents and potential.

Is it better to be generally decent at everything you do, at least a 70% or a 90% in one thing and 50% in everything else?

I have another concept I'm building....but it's new so it's undeveloped and I'm not sure how to present it yet. Tomorrow, maybe.

And another thing I keep forgetting I will post later....on it's own 'cause I think it's a little different.

Thoughts?
