getting past the plateau

this is going to sound a bit conceited but when it comes to things that involves some type of skill, i would say i'm above average and have a pretty quick learning curve. for example, i would say i'm pretty decent in tennis and probably better than most people. i would also say i'm better than most at video games, musical instruments and sports. maybe even typing.

(sidenote: sounds real cocky, i know... but i should also mention that i am really horrible at more things than i am good at... like dancing. i really suck at dancing. and cooking.)

however, no matter how much time i spend on one thing, whether it is tennis or video games, i reach a plateau that i cannot seem to surpass. it's like the tortoise and the hare. i have an all out sprint and out in front, but as time passes, i'm just in the middle of the pack. i feel like i just don't have what it takes to be at the very top. i feel like i'll always be just "good enough."
