Here is a great question an economist should answer: If a person is content to do their second, third, or fourth best--if they are content to never understand what their "best" truly is--then how much food do they deserve to eat. Can we do a regression analysis? Can we build a model?
I haven't ever done my best, or second best. I excuse myself from that. I slack off and use the time I spend slacking off to make excuses as to why I'm slacking off. I deserve to starve.
I'm capable. I swear I am. I'm Hercules. When I murder a lion with my bare hands, people are going to think I'm a superhero.
The biggest shame of all is that my superpowers are derived from their excuses, from my excuses.
