I'm a man of few talents

I can't sing. I can't play an instrument. I can't dance. Im not very good at art. Im not very good at sports. Im not even very good at Starcraft.

Most people seem to at least have one talent that sets them apart from everyone else. They can sing well. Or is exceptionally good at an instrument. Or both. It helps them stand out. Its something that can impress people, grab their attention, charm them, attract them, make them fall in love.

I don't have any of that. I guess the only thing i've got going is my intellect. I have a good memory, and a strong ability to understand things. When I combine this with hard work, I perform very well academically. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to exploit this talent very well in the past years because I've been lazy and misguided.

But now, I realise that this is the only way I can be good at something. I really want to be good at something. I want a quality about me that defines me, that sets me apart from everyone else. Something that I can be proud of.

I want to make my mark on this world. I don't want to lead a mediocre life as a mediocre man. The only way I can prove my worth now is through my career. This will be my 'talent' - becoming an exceptional professional in the environmental field. The environment intrigues me. It is my passion. Since Im not very good at anything else, I must excel in this field. I must study hard, work hard, and achieve a fulfilling career. This is the only way i will be able to find my place in this world. This is the only way for me to stand in the spotlight for once, and shine.
