I dont feel like an underachiever. I feel like someone who didnt spend their life in a room or with my nose in a book.
And I'll bet hard money I can track a deer or rip out the bullseye of paper at 100 yards WAY better then she EVER will be able to.

i'll bet hard money that every person on that webpage has many non-academic talents that you will NEVER be able to do.

but if it makes you feel better that you can track a deer better than them, more power to ya.

right. I'll be the first to admit here that there is an elite in society-intellectual, physical, whatever. Some people are good enough, and some aren't. Depends on your definition of success-your's is guns and such physicall boobery. Mine is wealth, so if someone is rich, I believe they are successful. If that necessarily true? You decide:thumbsup:
 
Why spend time worrying about that stuff?

I mean, everyone is ugly compared to someone. Do you worry about that? Most people aren't as smart or talented as this person. Why get riled up about it?
 
Nope, I can acknowledge their accomplishments without it lowering my self-esteem. They chose their paths, I chose mine, and I'm not trying to compete against them.

haha.
 
you know what i did today on my day off? woke up around 9, sat around in my pj's till about 11, finally decided to take a shower. got dressed and rode the motorcycle for a while. came home, took a nap in front of the tv. went out and rode the motorcycle again. came home, browsed the web. i'd say it was a day well spent. someone should give me a scholarship for my accomplishment.
 
Well i for one am amazed of her. I wished i had the ability and opportunity to do all those things. Not only is she already succeeding immensely academically, but she's already quite charitable.

thats what i thought, gg


Doesn't matter. She'd be an Elite Member by default 😉

no way.

one of the requirements for Elite is a minimum number of hours spent in P&N, and she's probably too smart to waste her time on that. 😛
