I'm not a graphic designer. I'm not an Olympic swimmer. I'm not an artist. I'm not a scratch golfer. I'm not the perfect husband. I don't have my own company.

But I could. Instead, I've focused my life on being "well rounded", which means I'm good at everything, great at nothing. I can beat 98% of everyone at ping-pong, trivial pursuit, racquetball and backgammon. My Mensa score says I'm in the top 98% of intelligence. I've got 2 MCSE's, and I'm not even in that profession. I know carpentry, Photoshop, cross-stitching and how to cook. I can dunk.

And yet there's still 2% of people out there that are more successful than me because they've spent their life perfecting that one thing that they're good at. When thinking of someone, we usually think of a specific trait, accomplishment, or failure. A living legacy, of sorts, and I have no clue what that one specific "thing" is for me. I see the potential in something new and throw myself at it. And I'm perpetually exhausted trying to find it.

The cause of this rambling post? I decided to abandon my ASP and VB.NET experience for C# on ASP.NET 2.0. Just when I was getting good. How typical...
