During my early years on elementary, I sometimes ask my self "why they can easily do it to the top?" or "why its so easy for him to do that?". I'm not sure but sometimes, It helps us to work hard and be more. Some people has this kind of natural talents that's why they succeed effortless om so,e aspects. But doing it with hard work pays off because we were able to overcome many circumstances and difficulty in life. Wow about you? do you sometimes ask your self about that even at your age now? how do you respond? Happy mylotting :)

Everyone wants to be successful! Everyone has some favorite thing, in which they wish to become master...
The key is the burning desire, the passion and the desperation for success. One does not need a degree certificate or years of education... Human brain is capable of doing wonders, if it is allowed to focus upon something. There've been many examples when poor fellows with no or little education became great guys. What did they have? Only the desire to succeed... Desire to become a master of the thing that they liked, loved... I wouldn't say they can do it easily. I would say, they want to do it and they're guided by an invisible hand towards success...
Happy myLotting!

It is human nature to think like that or compare whith others... But in some cases thinking like that can help you to work hard which is postive result... There are also negative results which makes you feel jelous and may lead you to do bad things.. :)

I usually don't ask this question in such aspect. If it comes to skills, then I don't usually bother myself with thinking about how others manage to do something, I just try to be as good as they. But sometimes I ask another question: "Why do some people get everything so easily?"
I have seen a number of people who just don't have to do hard work to achieve something, they "just get it". It must be some good luck or something, some of them have also rich and successful parents who provide their children with everything they need. I have to work hard on some things while these people I am talking about just get it if they want to.

I still do it. But not s much in the same way as I used to when I was younger. When I was in elementary, middle and even early secondary school I would look at these people with envy and jelousy and try so very hard to be just like them because of what they could do, and how they could do it so easily.
But now, I kind of look at myself and say that while it would be nice to be able to do those things and do it so effortlessly, I dont have to accomplish everything (or everything so perfectly) and have my own things to be proud of and my own things I do great with little work.

well, yeah i still ask that question to myself until now. but after asking myself i would answer, just let it be. i'll just accept that i'm not the person for this kind of situation. i have a different field where i'm gonna be good at.

Hi friend,
All of us are born unique. All of us have talents. Sometimes it's really obvious even when you were still a child you had shown it---or hidden, that you yourself need to discover it. My friend told me about the 9 intelligences, and that led me also to create a post regarding it. A person may belong to one or more of those intelligences. Sometimes you can see that your classmates are so good in mathematics and you see that you are not that bad in that subject but you have to exert much effort compared to them. I had a classmate in high school before, she would finish the math exam effortlessly, and finished with half of the time left---me, I would be sweating my whole body until my underwear would soaked with my sweat until I finished the test on the very minute my teacher would say: Pass all your papers, finish or not. And she would always got the highest score. I sometimes ask her why she could do it easily, and she would respond: I just love math. Oh she belonged to Mathematical Intelligence. I discovered later that I am good in the other field so I tried to developed it. I am more on Interpersonal Intelligence where I am good in leading people. So the next year, I ran for president for the SSG and I won... and there I enjoyed my talent.
Happy Lotting!!!

hello there...
yup... It's the same here... as the saying goes, the grass always looks greener on the other side.. when we turn to see how the others are doing, we always end up concluding that they are so good while we are slacking, yet, we are already doing our best...
sometimes, its better to be like that so there would be reasons for us to go a notch higher than where we are...

Don't undermine yourself just because someone else does something better or easier than you. Everyone of us is unique. There's bound to be something which you are better than someone else. So, don't compare. If you have to, rephrase that question you ask yourself - How can I do it as easily or even better?
