I've always excelled at whatever I do. Ended up as the top ranked player in one of the largest games there was, which got me interested in actually doing something useful instead of gaming, and went into STEM where I have continued to excel. I'm still searching for my upper limit. Just as a brief summary.

Oh, and about 4 years ago now I posted my suspicions on who runs the world anonymously on some tiny forum nobody visits to see if I could get a rise out of them. I'm really struggling to decide how I feel about everything that's happened since.

Edit: One thing that I really want to share here is that I've put a LOT of time and effort into trying to understand why I excel at things where others struggle, because I can't imagine myself being "special" in some fundamental way. When I look at other people I see the exact same potential that I've witnessed in myself. The best answer I've come up with is that people most often fail to achieve their potential in a given subject because of their priorities. Sometimes these are very good priorities such as raising their family, but most often it seems to be simply that they don't believe they're capable of anything more than what they're currently doing, so developing themselves and trying to advance is something they never prioritize. Einstein said more or less the exact same thing: It's not that I'm smarter than anyone else, it's simply that I spend longer on problems than they do.
