    So you guys remember the kids who always Sucked at kickball/baseball in school?

    you know, the ones that just sucked and no one wanted on their team, the guys usually stuck out in right field and batted last.

    i think that correlation can be drawn towards webmasters, too.

    me, right now, i'm probably a left fielder in that regard, i have potential through the sites i've been working on the past 8 months which aren't quite complete yet.. but i intend to be the pitcher, as i once was in baseball

    as athleticism is the determining factor of a person's skill being an athlete, what is it that determines a person's chances of being a successful webmaster? obviously a certain degree of intelligence is needed, but i think most importantly (and this is probably universal in most things in life), motivation and drive is the key.

    but can a person succeed on minimal intelligence and strong drive alone? or does it require something else, something nearly genetic like a good business sense? can a strong sense of business really be learned?

        Some of the stupidest people on this board are the most successful. Of course most of the morons are broke and a lot of the intelligent ones are broke too.

        Sorry, this proves nothing.

          i am proud to admit i was one of those kids picked in the lower half for sports

          i was an uncoordinated piece of shit in my younger years

          i played football in high school but i was nothing stellar

          however most (but obviously not all) of those guys who were good at sports are probably now doing landscape work so fuck them

          i forgot my moral:

          everyone is good at something
          if ur not good at anything then try landscaping

                  No one wanted to play me either, I was the shortest and smallest one in school, and I was always afraid of the ball. Whenever someone threw the ball at me I would run
                  because I didn't want to get hit in the face!

                  I had a bad childhood

                          IMO, it comes down to 3 basic things.

                            The kids like that when I went to school are now high power lawyers, computer millionaires, and CFOs of major corporations

                            Sometimes finding your niche outside the field can be very beneficial

                              Actually I excelled at sports, was very popular in school, etc.
                              Your generalization is just that, a generalization.
