This has alot to do with my quest to discover my abilities and more recently why I cannot seem to become excellent at something and just remain average or just above average at everything.
So today while meeting a guy after offering to fix his camera I asked him what he thinks makes the difference or the jump from decent/above average to excellent. He’s 27, studying for a phd and wasn’t happy with his engineering job after half a year graduating from mechanical engineering so he quit and went back to school. This is kinda the gist of what he said
I think it’s diminishing returns. The professional guy spends alot more effort just to get that little edge above that average guy.
And also, he said
2 kinds of jobs, one makes you rich one makes you happy. If you can’t get rich, at least be happy loh.. haha..
So that’s what intrigued me for the evening.. that and some talking in the car with my dearest. haha.. 
So I concluded i have no determination to get that extra edge because it takes so much more effort to break out from “decent” to excellent.
