Are You the Best?

[Dr. Cheese]

Last Wednesday, I gave two lectures in freshmen level history. The second lecture in particular, was really, really good! I honestly feel that I am the best lecturer in my department. Mind you, I did not say I was the best teacher. My department is full of smart people who have a lot to offer in terms of facilitating discussion, mentoring, and guiding research. Lecturing is just one part of the package, but I feel I do it better than anyone else in my department.

Obviously, I am bragging a bit, but I think it is important to know what you do well in life. That way you can play to your strengths and not your weaknesses.

How many of you feel that you know what you really do well or the best?

Cool deal that you like public speaking and are really good at it. Same with me. I pour my heart and emotions into the subject I am speaking on which helps since I'm not the smartest guy around.

I`m the second best at replying to this thread.

Nice, I can't do any speaking to a group of more than thirty. It's weird though, I've acted in front of audiences of more than two hundred people and wasn't nervous at all. But as for my strength, I'm by far the best freshman on the schools track team, and my coach expects me to be best in the school by the time I'm a senior.

I'm the best at pretty much everything. When was that even in question?

I've convinced, myself at least, that I conceived, designed, and built the best adjustable bridge ever made.

And I'd like to know more...

[carlos840]

Yes.

[DaveTomasi]

I am the best thing in one individual person's life, or so I have been told been told for the past 32+ years.

I am the best at writing in my program, which isn't saying a lot because it is an engineering program.

I'm not even going to pretend I'm the best translator out there, but it is extremely difficult to be the best. There is, however, a minimum standard, and if you are above that, you're still light years ahead of anybody else.

[colcifer]

Yes.

[spade2you]

I'd rarely use that term to describe myself. I'm more of a perfectionist and always pushing myself. I'd be afraid that thinking I'm the best would put me at risk for falling off my game.

I'm the best time trial specialist on my cycling team. Unlike musicians, some of which are prone to being legends in their own mind, I see this as a responsibility for me to maintain and improve.

I make a great cup o' tea, I've got a rep for it, yep I'm a tiger!

Yes, I am the best at what I do at this point in time. As for being the greatest... not by a long shot. But I'm working on it.

Lest you be concerned that no one appreciated your Karate Kid soundtrack reference, fear not.
