Wasted Potential |
|
Have you ever felt that when you were younger, you had a talent but put it to waste by not putting it into practice enough, or just being too lazy?
I feel I've wasted my potential with certain things like football, because when I was young I was really talented and was still really good up until I was around 14. I'm still good now, but I'm never as fit as I use to be. I've lost interest in it a bit because of previous managers really putting me down. But because of this, I've sort of wasted my potential in a way. I can never seem to get fit anymore, no matter how hard I work in training. What about you? Ever felt that you've wasted your talent or potential? ------------------- ![]() I'll be wallowing in sorrow, wearing a frown, like Pierrot the clown. | |

I've always had a knack for music and playing instruments. Unfortunately I didn't act more upon it.

Ice skating and drawing. I blame my dad for telling me to quit drawing and only recently getting me the ice skating lessons I've begged for since I was five. Heh, drawing isn't that great anyway. ------------------- ![]() Credit to Animalover | |

Playing instruments. But it was a complete waste of my time. Although I had the ability and knowledge I did not have anything to do with it. I can't just enjoy it playing by myself...people who suck can have a blast but that's a different story. Why I can't get enjoy it is because of a variety of things that I'd rather not explain.
Also, I was very good at baseball. About the time I was 11 I quit because I was sick of playing for teams where the coach would put me up to bat 8th and make me play in the outfield. My mom and dad weren't friends with the coach's family unlike the rest of the kids on the team so I got the shaft. I was really good when that wasn't an issue though. ------------------- ![]() | |

I used to be so much into acting and drama classes but now I have to take it in school and I'm just terrible at it. XD I did little musicals and stuff, and learned a lot but then decided nah, I wanna do volleyball. So I did that and now I'm writing, but I know eventually i'm gonna give up on writing and wish I had continued it. :L

I used to be pretty good at swimming, until I was 12 and the swimming club I went to got really ridiculous. They made us do length after length after length, it was like a *bleep*ing army camp, way more serious than you want at that age. So I quit, and now I can barely swim 20 metres without getting absolutely knackered.
I don't do sports anymore now, so I'm completely unfit. ------------------- ![]() | |

I used to be extremely good at swimming but I stopped, not because I didn't want to train, but simply because I didn't really enjoy it anymore..
I also feel that I am currently wasting my talent at rugby a bit, I could be so much better than I am if I worked out more, which I'm kinda starting to do ------------------- | |

Used to learn guitar when I was about 7.
Then stopped. And now i've forgotten everything, i'm 16 now and in a band as lead vocals, and knowing how to play guitar would have been a great help. xD ------------------- ![]() | |

I used to play basketball so much when I was little, it was my life. At around 12/13 years old, I completely stopped, stopped playing sports as a whole and got fat. I restarted again at around 15, but I was much less passionate by then. I was still decent, got slimmer and even joined my school's basketball team, but meh. These days well.. sigh.

Basketball. I used to play it all the time but just stopped for some reason. Now I just suck at it and hate the game altogether.
