What do you think you are much better at doing than you actually are?

Haha Of course, sometimes we do underestimate ourselves.. but there are times we are confident and we think we are good at a certain task, talent or activity. Like for me, I think I am not too bad at writing, I used to think that it is quite an easy task, to be an admin, to transcribe, or to write, or to document processes, or work - because I have been doing so for years now. But then well i have a chance at getting evaluated for this and It wasn't as good as i have hoped it to be. :P So there! I said it!! haha Do you have the same? Like you think you are really good at say, rock climbing, or drawing, etc?

Wow That's wonderful. we never really know what we are good at or not good at if we never tried. :D Haha at least you discovered you are good at cooking. some people are not good cooks no matter how they try or practice.

sometimes, mood has to do with what we do. I mean maybe during the time you were writing you were not in the mood and that reflected on your output.

Hi There Mavic! Thank you very much for your response. That could be true. I think there is always the perfect timing to do things, and right it must be because i am not in the mood that my output was not good as i thought. :D

@chiyosan yes, if you believe you can it is not because you are over confident, but because you are positive that you can. You don't say things that you can't do, do you? sometimes it is just a matter of a good timing.

I heard that 80% of drivers think they are better than average. Clearly they're not.

Hahaha! Well it is funny when they do think they are good drivers showing off driving skills but turns out they can't pull off any tricks at all. hehe
