Lately i have been prone to introspection. This morning i made myself poached eggs for the first time and success! Go me.
It made me think of how someone once said to me " you can't be good at everything"
Its true, in life you have to discover what you are good at. At 14 years old we pick our own school classes with respect to what we want to do the rest of our lives.
Well i will soon be thrity and i have my heart set on a degree but i do not know what i will work as i just feel it is right and i have decided to trust my gut and instincts which have been hampered all these years.
I was top of my class at primary school so when i doubted my intellect i took a cooking course thinking it would be a piece of cake. Well it was humble pie for me . The first lesson was eggs in all forms. I laughed when some of the youngsters turned their scrambled eggs grey then what did i do? Made one poached egg then my second burst. Coincidentally mine was voted worst looking. But no big deal. The tutor said i was a nervous wreck in the kitchen.
I went to an exercise class and i was the un fittest there and i couldnt handle not being up there with best.
Even when i went ice skating with an old friend she said i couldnt bare to have her get ahead of me. I never realised i was so competitive.
My boss in social care had to be the best at everything and most popular but she was such an as# that i did not find the means to respect her.
Some people never get the chance to find where their strengths lie. I did well accross all my high school subjects but i am not in the minority. Some parent s put more emphasis on socialising than achievement. Its so hard to find a balanc in this hectic world.
