How to suck at anything (anti-thread):

I added my two pennies worth to the wisdom:

• When starting a project, always shoot for the moon — because if you’re not the best at what you do, you don’t matter.
• Dream of an ideal world. Every time the reality turns out to be different, be sure to get overly emotional.
• Don’t appreciate yourself for anything you’ve done. Remember: it’s never enough. Never.
• Deprive yourself of things (and people) you love because you don’t deserve them.
• Finally, stay where you’ve been born: it defines you now and has to define you for the rest of your life. Also, nobody needs you where you will go.

If I’m honest, these are the mistakes I myself have been making for the most of my life. Don’t think my life’s already ruined, though: at least, I can see them.
