- NEW!
by Roger Kovaciny on July 13th, 2007
There is a place for second-bests. My wife will only play second violin or viola, to support the firsts. My own job requires that I not be a specialist, but "pretty good" rather than the best in half a dozen different things. (I'm a member of a small team translating the Bible into a foreign language. That means I have to be pretty good in five different languages. The only way to be great in any of them would be to ignore the other four.) Medicine is full of specialists, but most of the time you want somebody who's pretty good in everything. P.S. Your picture and personality seem nice, and that's a lot more important!

How often do you find that other people are very good at putting your feelings into words, even if they don't even know you?

When you're pushed to that "POINT!!!" What keeps you, or, how do you keep from going over, the edge??

You're reading Is there a specific type of person who is constantly second best, or am I just surrounded by a bunch of people who, according to literally everyone I know, are better than me?
