I may never learn to program, and I am sure in my learning process there will be set-backs and failures. I have after all tried over the course of the last several years to learn a little bit pf programing. Just because I want does not make it so.
I may never be a developer, but that is not what I am really striving for. The I/you can be/do anything you want really does set people up for failure, and the view people take of failure is not a very good one. I will learn something, already have actually, and I will fail over and over again, but that failure is part of the learning process.
I know I will never be President of the USA, but that does not mean I can not be President of the local book club chapter, or start my own thing where I am the President.
I wonder if part of the challenge with it is that we have access to so much information sourced and cherry-picked globally, that we see all this amazing stuff, thinking it is normal. We then feel like we should be able to do more, becaue it seems like *everyone else is - even though those people are outliers.
For me it is mostly to keep the mind active, entertainment has really gone down hill, even reading material is in short supply for me, and games well I have not felt like buying any new ones lately.
I know I'll never be a programmer or a doctor, but I can still fail to be come one and walk away happy.
The beginning and the end of all those bell curves not everyone fits in the middle of them.
