Feeling bad about having to learn to crawl before you learned to walk, eh?

Everything has to be learned and everyone is learning different things at different times. Think of people who become writers (takes 10 years of daily/hard writing "practice") versus people who become accountants; neither feels badly they are not learning what the other is? Whether you learn to make friends now or when you're 5, have a brother two years older who is a "natural" friend-maker and you're a shy thing going through school after him and teachers who teach you both comment about your brother versus you. . . we need individual/different things at different times in our lives; comparing with other people (which is the only way we can feel "silly" about how we learn) doesn't make sense. What someone else is/does is not "better" than who we are/what we do; that's like saying apples are better than oranges. Yes, the community might need more doctors so my brother becoming a doctor gets him fame and fortune and community gratitude but who knows what the community will need in 100 years and how the book I write might overshadow the memory/needs of the moment?

You are here, doing the best you can to become the best you you can and that is all we can do, all that is needed.
