> Nobody says we have to be good at everything we do

This is advice I have to push on my kids constantly, because they are obsessed with finding that one thing they are better than everyone else in the world.

"Do some" is not advice I got as a kid, but my mom eventually figured it out and told me that when was in my mid 20s or something.

Her words (from Malayalam) are best translated as "For whom a little is not enough, nothing is ever enough".

I think that's true for everything from money to self-worth. Enough is too hard to have.
