And also, if you had been more pressured as a child maybe you would have been a valedictorian, Rhodes scholar, concert pianist, etc…. at that time, your competitive advantage would have been so much greater.

Wow, Zk, I’m so sorry about the way you’re parents raised you. All that untapped potential . . . gone. Were you able to overcome the lack of proper parenting? Have you made peace with your parents?
I’d pick up a decent keyboard and start taking lessons asap. Hang in there.[/quote]
I think there’s an argument that if the kid has a burning desire to be rich or famous, its usually to fill some gap in the parents life. If your kid just wants to be unknown, you probably didnt lsy your failings on them.
Me I really wanted to be famous, and still do. Most days I walk around feeling like there’s something great in me if I could just get out[/quote]
You don’t post any links to support that argument, but whatever. Your posting history seems like someone who has a burning desire to be famous, or more popular, or paid attention to. Don’t despair. On this website, you’ve become the man you’ve always wanted to be. Hopefully that filled the gap.[/quote]
oh I desperately wanted to be famous and recognized. pathetically so. still do, but not as bad. kind of like the Andy Bernard character on THE OFFICE, but maybe even more pathetic, if that’s possible. and yeah, it’s definitely a sign of issues.
I don’t have a link handy, but this isn’t a highly controversial issue.
