I'm not as good a writer as any number of writers I could name.

I was never the best programmer in college, nor am I in my current place of work.

I'll never be half the artist that cyfis is.

There are faster readers than me - Quatoes is one.

Storytellers have impressed me with their attention to detail and the sheer fun of the games they have run - I've never been able to engage someone that completely.

My mother's a much better cook than I am.

Boy, are there people who are more fanatical about anime than I am. ^^ They frighten me.

There are people who speak much better Japanese than I do. They're called "Japanese," and they grew up speaking it. ^^ However, there are also foreigners who can speak almost as well, and I can't.

There will always be people who act cooler, dress better, handle things easier, and generally make me look second rate, if I want to take it that way. And though I don't want to, sometimes I do take it that way. Then I smack myself, because it doesn't matter. I'm better at something than everyone who is better at something else. And no one is the best, because when you get to the top, you start getting into luck. Discern world-class physicist A from world-class physicist B? Well, A might have invented theory 1, and B theory 2, but which is more significant? It's hard to tell. Even if it's clear cut that theory 1 is better, how do you know that A just didn't have better information than B? It could have nothing to do with their skill. And they probably suck at something I can do, because they're world class physicists, and I'm not. I've got to have been wasting my time on something. ^^

Wow, that was a long, roundabout post.
