Under Achiever

At school my teachers thought I would never amount to anything. I haven’t seen any of them since I left so they probably don’t know how accurate their predictions were. None of my achievements in life have been more than minor. This has, from time to time, caused me anxiety and dissatisfaction, but not anymore. I’ve found that since I’ve been living on my own I no longer care about achievement, or lack of it. A bit more money would be nice, but it wouldn’t take much more to spare me the usual end of the month juggling.

This made me wonder how many of the ambitions we have are for the sake of other people.

On a profile that asked what I was good at I wrote "getting arrested by the police. Thankfully I'm an underachiever".

I'm not pessimistic, Harbal, I'm not directly affected. I look at BadlyDrawn objectively; although I can't quite understand how you can look at him without objecting other then He is a pillar of His Community!! Big Fake Glasses I thought I knew him.laugh

I'll leave you to take that up with BadlyDrawn yourself, Swamie.
