Sad truth: You can’t become anything you want just by putting your mind to it (for example, it’s doubtful you’ll ever be dictator of North Korea no matter how hard you try).
But you won’t amount to anything if you just give up and do nothing. Find your gifts and use them.

When this happens, you best option is to change the ground rules. Or go somewhere else.
