And i think its a very good way to think "most of the time".
But i also do find, at least for myself, to look at myself honestly and say... What am I relatively bad at ? And what am I relatively better at than most people?
For example, i generally find im much more systematic and disciplined than others. And its this belief that has allowed me to jump into new areas relatively confident and be successful.
Whereas if i just said.. well im below avg in everything.. i probably wouldnt have taken that leap.
So thats the only case where i do think a bit of... "im better than most mofos at this specific thing" is a bit beneficial...
Good point! If we are really honest with ourselves I think we'd discover that the only way to be above average in anything is to be ok with being below average at most things.
Interesting take!
